Green Thumb?

Basil

Pretty flowers

The kids have been asking to plant flowers for a while...well for about 2 years now. I don't do flowers, I don't do anything garden and I don't have a green thumb. A couple of weeks ago I took the kids to each pick out a plant. I figured I start with two plants and put them in a pot and see how it goes. We also planted basil and tomatoes. I don't know how to do this planting thing other than what I've read on the internet and what the people at the Garden Center told me so, we shall see! The kids are happy and so far all the plants look normal...I think?
