The first cofession

Appropriate day for the first confession.  Happy Earth day, and Easter everyone.  Colorado is little chilly and snow flakes flying around, but I have not killed one plants since I have planted them four weeks ago.  Good effort so far.
Originally, I started this project trying to save some money growing my own vegetables.  After purchasing all starters and seeds, I think I spend more money than actual supermarket prices for veges.  As I stated, I don't have a green thumb in any shape or form.  I killed many, many, many plants - decorative in a house or my front and back yard grass (yeap, it is brown all right).  So, this is really hard for me to challenge myself, whether even I can do this or not.  Last year, I purchased two Tomato plants to plant in the planter (paid $2.50 each).  I think I got one Tomato.
This year, I'm educating myself, bought books/magazines/online articles (yes, I'm spending more money here...) that someday, I will succeed.  I can do this - not that I will have a farmer's market type of produce, but I will have more than one Tomato in the yard.  That will be my goal. Help me sunshine, help me rain and help me earth...  I will return green thing (other than weeds) back to your home.
Hope you see me succeed... I'll post update periodically, so I can provide you with evidence of not killing another plants....  Thanks for your support...
