Plant or Lamb To The Slaughter by Allison

Plant or Lamb To The Slaughter

Plants and flowers never live that long in my house.....I read the instructions, put them in the correct spot, water them, but still......they always prematurely bite the dust. Yesterday I bought a new bunch......I'm determined to keep them alive longer than a week or so....but we'll see :-)

Gorgeous! Wow. I don't KILL my plants, I just sort of torture them. They live..but barely..they don't seem to bloom as they are supposed to, etc.. good luck with your plant.

@espyetta lolol I don't know what's worse, killing them or torturing them ;-) Btw I was chatting to Crom yesterday.....he has a photoshoot today.....somehow the conversation got round to freezing weather in FL....model.......freezing her lady bits lol

Do you talk to your plants/flowers. That seems to help my plants at the office. Could also be the florescent lighting? Oh well. Good luck to you and your pretty flowers. Again, loving the yellow :)

@bluefirebucket I've now read it and wrote the email down. Thank you Mick.......I've thoroughly enjoyed our interaction...your comments would always make me smile, and they were always so different than the usual comments and so witty.......something to do with being a Northerner I'm sure, but yes, stay in touch, keep taking photos, and if you don't pop in to say hello, and I will email you to say hello to my lovely Northerner friend :-) xx
