new baby

there's this girl at the farmer's market who I secretly think is so cool.
she sells herbs.
she knows all there is to know about her plants, and loves them to death.
today I heard her fuss at someone for planting their purple basil in too small of a pot.
anyway, a while back I bought a plant from her and now it's dead. 
I guess that traveling, maybe? 
or I'm just a bad mother?
well that's okay because now I've got a new baby.
a stevia plant!
took it right home and gave it a pretty little terra cotta bed. I hope it's happy here.
someone help me keep this guy alive. I really want to be good at gardening.
