How does your garden grow?

I do not have a green thumb; I think its because once I've put the plants in the ground, I just want them to take care of themselves.  I can never remember to water them.  Forget about feeding them.  I hate to weed.  But at this time of the year, I am always tickled pink to find last year's perennials poking back up, in spite of me.  And this weekend, I was tickled pink to plant a few new 'easy to grow' additions....including a variety of rose.  I thought roses would always be beyond my grasp, but a helpful garden store employee, instructed me otherwise.  I once read "You can't grow grass and children at the same time", so it was great to learn that while I'm busy growing the kids, there are still options for having some beautiful things to look it in my yard.  By the way, the new rose bush is pink, of course!
