I was wrong.
You heard me.
Stop gawking, it had to happen sometime.
I was wrong.
Wrong, as in un-right.
*sob*
I am, as she so nicely points out, NOT the Queen of the Black Thumb. I thought I was. I really did. I mean, I kill plants like Wu kills the English language. But the propriator of Two Nervous Dogs can really kill a kudzu. Assassinate an aster. Murder a marigold. Do in a daisy.
I could go on and on, and frequently do. And do. And do.
So let me just abdicate my throne for She Who Knows How To Blackthumb, and accept my role as the Princess of Plant Plunderage.
The plant is dead... long live the sprout.
Dang, someone who can kill KUDZU? Where do I sign up for her services?
(Actually, I don't have kudzu -- but if I did, I'd sure want it dead.)
Posted by: Julia at June 2, 2005 09:54 PMI think if I had kudzu I could kill it. I've killed 14 rose bushes just trying to start a rose garden. My husband can look at a plant and it will start to grow. I can nurture a fully grown rose bush and it will shrivel and die. Where do I sign up for the Black Thumb Club?
Posted by: Denise at June 3, 2005 12:31 AMI've killed every planat I've ever owned. They look at me and commit suicide! Otherwise they know they're in for alow and torterous death.
Posted by: Rachel Ann at June 3, 2005 06:34 AMMy next gardening project, as I announced to The Hub, is to remove the dead things from the pots and buy real-looking, high-quality plastic "plants" which I will then 'plant' in the pots. I predict the plastic things will eventually corrode and have oozy stuff weeping from their plasticky little "Made in Japan" stems. The lady at the faux plant store will say "What did you DO to them?" And I will sniffle, "I just loved them."
Posted by: dogette at June 3, 2005 11:46 AMTrue story: I pulled a gigantic weed out of my garden this morning and put it in an clay pot with some potting soil.
Why?
To see if I can kill weeds the way I can kill every other plant in my vicinity.
Posted by: Jeff at June 3, 2005 12:25 PMI did kill a plastic plant once. I forgot and set it on a space heater.
Oopsie.
Grilled plastic plants are all the rage. A little provolone and red wine vinegar. Yum.
