"Brown thumb" = ngón tay cái nâu -> nghĩa là người không có năng khiếu/khả năng trồng trọt, chăm sóc cây. Ngược lại với "green thumb".
Ví dụ

A garden consult (tư vấn): “This is a great way to receive professional guidance on your garden—especially if you’re just starting out now. There is no such thing as a ‘brown thumb,’ and we can offer practical solutions (giải pháp thiết thực) that create results you’ll be able to see immediately.”
