B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for March 27, 2024

Mine would grow away from the sun light.

Brother and I refused a plant brought over by our new neighbor. She’d wanted to thank us for watching over her place. We explained we both had black thumbs. She understood.

“Ummmm, when was the last time you fed the dog?”

I’ll stop there. Use your imagination. ;-)

It’s a stick now.

You just had to leaf it alone for far too long…….

This is easily avoided with Arboritus Plasticus

What this a cave plant in pot?

True story: once we decided to buy a fake fern for the house. We knew we were no good with live plants but liked the look. Went to a store in their fake plant section(they also sold live), picked out a nice one and took it home. After about a week, we noticed it looked different. Then the fronds started to turn brown. That’s when we realized we had somehow picked up a live fern. Needless to say, it did not make it.

I don’t want anything I have to keep alive unless it can TELL me to feed it! I did get a plant from a neighbor friend that I’ve managed to keep alive (Primrose) but it kind of manages well on it’s own, when I change the cat’s water it gets some.

One of my sisters can kill a plastic plant.

A clumpy low growing plant with nickel shaped petals and several dandelion like flowers shows up every March, but unhappily it fades in early April. Neighbors call it invasive and eradicate it when it shows.

I call it a really bright and visual treat and I wouldn’t mind if it took over the whole yard – it’s only a quarter of the way there now – and bloomed all summer. Lots of bees and other insects. A great addition to a yard with soil that seems indifferent to every other kind of seed, plant, fertilizer, treatment in existence.

Also have volunteer eupatorium, a great pollinator, with dozens of insects on every fluffy spread.

[Competing lawn care companies have been known to conference over ways to get me to sign on. First one gets free beer : ) ]

my wife was like that with her car when we first moved in together- I was driving her car and it was making ugly noises “How long has it sounded like that?”

“A while.”

“When did you last get the oil changed?”

“I don’t remember.”

If the Fat Broad watered her plant every time she pounded a snake, that little tree would be a gigantic Redwood by now.

Probably died because of the dark……..cave!!!!!

Sounds like my sister-in-law.

A baseless rumor, to be sure.

Paper? I thought they only had stone slabs to read?

That’s me when I try to grow parsley & I’ve killed other delicate herbs like cilantro. If cilantro had a Post Office my picture would be hanging in it.

Yes, most plants enjoy occasional watering.

My wife used to kill house plants by “benign negelect”. Now she has mastered the the art of growing houseplants. Too bad those plants can’t sprout legs and fend for themselves.

that answered that question… :}

I guess that toilet could use a cleaning.

Had a pal at work who watered his cactus with his back-washed cold coffee. It survived his career.

I know a person like that!

I like how Grace (AKA Cute Chick) breaks the fourth wall and looks at us.

Years ago, my mother gave me a plastic hanging plant because she knew my record with actual plants.
