Having a green thumb. (Being successful with plants and ACTUALLY planting the plants.)
If you are a gardener and you are constantly nipping out laterals or light pruning you do it with the thumbnail. You only get a green thumb if you already have the talent.
the saying "green thumb" means someone who, not literally, has a green thumb because they like gardening. When growing tobacco, farmers remove the flowers from the crops in order to increase the size and weight of the leafs. This process, known as "topping," is standard practice even today. In early colonial America, when tobacco was the major cash crop, farmers would hand-pick the flowers using their thumbnails to cut the stem. After a while, the farmer's thumb would be stained green. Hence the term, Green Thumb.
The phrase "green thumb" originated from the idea that people who have a natural talent for gardening have hands that appear green from handling plants. Having a green thumb means that someone is skilled at growing plants and maintaining a garden successfully.
