Just leave a comment telling us your funniest black-thumb moment. For example, once I grew a tomato. A single tomato. It was supposed to be cherry tomatoes on a vine. I cared for it all season. It grew one tiny cherry tomato and I made my husband cut it in half and eat it with me on a bed of greens. I called it a salad.
Spread the word on Facebook, Twitter or your blog and if you do, leave another comment here letting us know for an extra chance to win!
On Tuesday, December 22nd at midnight CT we will close the entries and select a winner using Random.org.
And don't forget to enter all the current giveaways listed up there in the right corner, including the M Sartin neck cuff which ends at midnight tonight!

i kill every basil plant i touch
once i had a cactus named Togejiro. he was named after a cactus in an anime movie that talked and hopped around. he had purple flowers, and i had no idea if cacti needed water or what, so he shed all his flowers and died.
Yay!! I love Kelly and her blog...and her cuppies and her suculents! Lovely prize. Thanks!
This past summer, I grew 25 tomato plants. At the end of the season, I tallied my total of tomatoes produced-50 cherry tomatoes. :) And yes--I do plan on trying again next year! (Hopefully with better results!)
I once spent four months watering a seed and little sprouting in a tiny pot. I thought it was a radish and wanted to eat it at the end of the growing season. When I finally determined it big enough to eat, I dug up the plant... only discover it was just a weed I'd been taking care of the whole time! So disappointing!

Oh, how beautiful this is!!!! It would be perfect in my sunny home office/school room/craft room/library.
This year my squash plants gave me a few beautiful specimens and then all turned powdery white, shriveled up and died. Bummer.
Just posted this on my Facebook page. I am o happy you are doing this giveaway because I love Succulent Designs.
Thanks, Greta

amazing. difficult as it may be, i have recently killed a number of cacti and succulents. hopefully i can win this one to redeem myself to the plant gods!
When we moved here from England to CA I was determined to have a lovely engish vegetable garden. Our first summer was hot with temps regularly reaching 110! As I was digging in the rock hard soil with sweat literally pouring off of me I glanced over at my then 3 and 1 year old... they were bright red! We gave up and only put in a few plants that were burned up by the sun heat, therefore yielding a harvest of zero! We have since learned that it is best to dig the garden in the winter!!
I bought lucky bamboo thinking that even I could remember to fill the vase with water about once a month. But of course, I didn't, and that was pretty unlucky for those bamboo!
My worst was finding a chicken laying her eggs in my compost pile. Or maybe that should be my best?!
ever try to grow an avocado plant from an avocado pit? i have tried at least 30 times and they NEVER ever take root like they should. it makes me sad, since my dream is to someday own a tasty avocado tree!
When I was in middle school I convinced my mom to let me get a plant for my room. It was an aloe vera plant. All went well until one day I realized I hadn't watered it in awhile. Then, I realized I hadn't seen it in awhile. I began digging through the pile of junk on my desk and discovered the squished dead plant under a pile of books.
But, if I win this, I promise not to let it become a book stand!
Thanks for the great giveaways!
I house sat for my mother-in-law for 2 weeks and killed 3 out of her 11 plants. I also watered one of her plastic plants.. it looked so real. shame!
Oh my black thumb is legend in my family. I think the only thing I've had success with is a Christmas Cactus!
I love succulents! Unfortunately, my black thumb story has to do with succulents. A professor of mine gave me a jade plant. It was from his mother's plant. I took great care of it; it tripled in size and I looked forward to a long life. It moved across the country with me as well. When I found out I was moving back again and would likely be flying with no way to take care of my plant, I began to neglect it. Turns out we drove back but it was too late for my little guy.
Every rose plant--- I buy atleast 4 a year and they never have given me one flower to date
These are gorgeous, perfect for San Diego style! Love them!
er...i just started with some live plants in my cute little house...but it got super cold, and my heat is broken so they all died :(
Tried pumpkins once when we lived in a big city...bad idea...miles and miles of vines overtook the driveway!!
ONE black thumb moment?! Huh? I like to buy orchids that have lost their blooms and try to persuade them into blooming again. While I've had some success, recently I bought one that had a disease and it killed itself along with three otherwise healthy orchids! Good grief.
My black thumb moments are all a blur - there are too many to count. I gave up on plants a long time ago. But this looks like something I could handle!
where do i sign up??
I ABSOLUTELY have a black thumb. I've already killed my christmas cactus. How's that for a gardening nightmare?
I don't even have fake plants in my house. Well, the little plastic Christmas tree has survived for longer than I've been alive but not sure it counts.
I once had a cute little cactus but I pricked myself one too many times and had to get rid of it. Needless to say, I LOVE soft succulents.
My husband and I planted a garden all from seeds. Weeks went by and we had cucumber, chard and lettuce plants. One day something attacked the cucumbers and they all got diseased. Pulled them up. The lettuce bolted. Pulled them up. The chard is still going strong and are now keeping the new brussels sprouts, broccoli and onions company.
Thanks for the giveaway, I love succulent love, kelly is so talented.
all of my plant stories are black thumb stories...and they aren't funny. i kill every plant i try to grow. even the ones given to me that "you can't kill"....
When my boyfriend and I first moved in I thought growing our own herbs would be a genius idea. So I put all my pots out on the balcony and figured I'd just let nature do it's thing. Not so much, the next time I went out to grab some basil the whole lot was dried up to super crispiness. Too much sun, apparently.
Also posted this on my blog!

Ok so I had this grand idea of having a vegetable garden. I had my Hubby out there with me plowing a small patch in our back yard. He took me and we spent god knows how much on all the essentials and other fun things like pink planting gloves! Spent a whole weekend outside, got serious sunburn. Then a week into my cute little garden, I went outside to pick weeds and water it, when it happened. I HUGE black racer snake slide across my feet! I was out, done, finito and within a week of the Florida summer everything was dead.

I had a similar experience with strawberries. We planted 3 plants, received one strawberry. me and my fiance shared it. I guess we planted the squash too close and they completely took over :( I think succulents are a bit tougher to kill.
Many years ago, as a new gardener, I spent hours and hours one February patiently and carefully weeding clover from a flower bed. Some time later that spring my husband said, I wonder where all the poppies are? Arrgh!
It's plant but lovely and pretty for centerpiece. The best thing is that long long times we can enjoy it.
