So I think I have an idea of what to do.

I have hooked up with the vocational rehabilitation and they figure I should work with the local mental health center in their employment program to help start with work. So far I will be looking into either work in a greenhouse or tree nursery basically some sort of position caring for plants. I think I could do well with it, I have had an interest in such things for a while though I have never really had a garden of my own or anything but I think I could do well doing plant care work. I have been able to save some plants that were close to dead, though I have failed with some, one was because my mom put it out in the garage in the winter cause she thought it was dead but it was actually just starting to come back to life because I had been taking care of it......I was quite mad at her about it but she didn't know but yeah i was just frustrated because it was so close to getting healthy again if she hadn't stuck it out there to freeze. I was litterally sad when I saw the curled up dead leaves because I could just imagine it recoiling from the cold and just slowly dying.

Well that was a ramble but anyways I think I can get work in the plant industry and work up from there.

I hope that will work out for you, it seems a very worthwhile and rewarding vocation.

I've tried to care for the plants in my garden over the years, I find them much easier to deal with than people! This rose bush was in a really bad way in 2008, with only half a dozen leaves and a single, unopened bud. I managed to revive it, and it's done amazingly well ever since, especially considering it gets no direct sunlight in its location.



This one is really struggling though. If you've any advice on how to help it, I'd welcome it...
