I don't have a yard of my own to try planting anything, nor do I even have space in my condo for it. >< Not even the windowsills, there's not a lot of good light in here and they're narrow anyway. I wanted to try planting an herb garden if I ever got out of my apartment. Well, I did and I still don't have the means to really plant one, dreams mildly dashed.
Though I did manage to keep a plant alive for several years back at my old place. A begonia of some sort, I think? Gave it to someone else to plant in their yard when I moved, though. This past winter probably finally killed the poor thing, alas.
