Christmas in March

My Christmas cactus is blooming in March, which only further proves that I do indeed have the "black thumb of death" when it comes to houseplants.

Upstairs, my angel wing begonia is dropping its leaves sadly. I can't seem to get the balance of water and sunlight right and I fear it has reached the end of its life.

I long to plant tomatoes this summer but don't know if I can deal with the disappointment of another "two tomato" harvest this year. Yep. Last year's tomato plant yielded exactly two tomatoes and then it died. (In comparison, the eggplants did great, I think they produced a record-breaking four.) Clearly, my future as a gardener is very bleak.

But the cactus is very pretty.
