Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb．The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds．A person，with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well．You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died．
