Green Thumb & Much Needed Luck



This morning I planted some of these pretties.  A ranunculus has always been a favorite of mine and ever since the garden started here at home I've been wanting to grow some of my own.  The only problem is I'm not sure I have a green thumb.  I once planted pansies when I was younger and they never bloomed.  A few years later I tried planting some Betty Boop roses and they never grew.  The instructions said to soak the bulbs in water, so this morning that's just what I did.   I was suppose to let them soak for two hours but oops...I forgot about them.  I know I'm the worst gardener ever.  I planted them anyway, I just hope I didn't drown them.  Who knows...maybe I'll have some just as pretty as these in the near future.  
Crossing my fingers for better luck this time. 





 Hope your weekend is lovely :)
