Hi, my name is Dawn, and I have a black thumb.
Ok, not really {except that one time I smashed it with a hammer *youch*), but I sure don’t have a green thumb. I bought a palm tree from a local home improvement place – dead within 2 weeks. Various houseplants – dead. However, I had one of those spider plants and an ivy that held on longer, until they finally met their maker, too. Should I give up? The folks at Miracle-Gro don’t think so.
Scott’s Gro-ables – Helping Newbie Gardeners Find Their Green Thumb
Aside from murdering plants, in my spare time I like to can food. I make a mean salsa. And by mean, I mean “burn the skin off your tongue and make you cry for your mama” mean. This salsa isn’t for the faint of heart. I generally go buy the ingredients that I need for it at the local farmer’s market but I really want to grow the veggies and make it myself – the entire process.
Scott’s Gro-ables is a brand new product from Miracle-Gro – a pre-packaged seed pod that makes it incredibly easy to grow your own herbs and veggies from seed, even if you don’t have a green thumb. It’s designed children, or people who are new to gardening but have always wanted to try growing their own food. See, the easier the process is for a beginner, the more likely they are to enjoy it. Baby steps. These pods can be easily grown in your home or apartment for your later consumption.
So, I am hoping that Scott’s Gro-ables can help even me.

Scott’s Gro-ables are guaranteed to grow when you use them as directed – so everyone can have a green thumb! That is exactly what I need – clear directions.

So, I am really excited that I will be getting to try a few of these packs out in the coming weeks and telling you guys about my results!
Scott’s Gro-ables are also really affordable. At only $1.29 – $1.49 per seed pod – depending on market – you can afford to buy several of these to try out for yourself. So, here’s to having a green thumb and making my own salsa – from scratch! Wish me luck!

I need this. Need. I also have a black thumb. I kill everything. I want to plant a garden at our new rental and I need all the help I can get!
It is like K-cups for plants!! GENIUS! I just started a bunch of seeds under the grow lights downstairs. I need to find these in the store for my ten year old! He loves to plant his own little garden each year, and this would be perfect for him.
Hahaha! I hadn't thought about that! Kcups for plants! Awesome!
Haha, so you are saying these were made specifically for me? Because I have the worst black thumb ever.
this might be just what i need to finally try my hand at gardening. can you use it indoors also?
What a brilliant idea! I am horrible at keeping plants alive, but I'd love to grow my own veggies. Will definitely be checking these out!
These are the coolest. I need these this spring. I'm going to get out into my garden and front flower beds and really make it pretty again.
THAT is cool. we do a lot of gardening but this sure would be fun for the kids to plant. they each have their own raised bed within our big garden
My kids would love these! They seemed to have inherited my black thumb, but I keep hoping I can help them be better.
First of all, my husband would LOVE to try your salsa. He always asks for the hottest they offer when we try out a new Mexican restaurant! We have also discussed growing our own foods, but my thumb is dark black too!
The secret is to leave the jalapeno seeds in. Every recipe I have ever seen says to take them out. Nah, removing the seeds is for wimps, lol. Go hard or go home. :P
I would be a good test subject on this because I can not grow nor keep any plant alive. ever.
