I've never had much of a green thumb - in fact, I'd wager to say I have a bit of a brown thumb. Even so, I've lived with a variety of individuals with green thumbs aplenty - and today one of my current roommates asked me to help her with planting some of her garden.
I dug around in the dirt, looked at bugs, moved worms (with a rake since ...I am not touching those), planted green things, watered, accidentally got sprayed with the hose, and it was really just a nice time. Digging in the dirt was peaceful, and the bugs were somewhat fascinating. I don't even like bugs but it was interesting anyway.
I hope the garden doesn't die due to the presence of my brown thumb, but it was a really nice time to just be.
And for a funny thing... I sometimes can't wait to be a parent just so I can do funny things to my kids and this article hits a bunch of parents who have capitalized on the silliness.
