I have a black thumb -

so bad am I at succoring plantlife ... that I now have only a collection of flowering cacti that are virtually bulletproof

I also liked Reese Witherspoon in that film

be well

Im gonna see walk the line this weekend, i love Johnny Cash hope your plants get better! The only plant that I have managed to keep is my cactus which is nearly a meter tall now, ive had it for 4 years. I got disheartened with plant keeping after my bonsai tree commited suicide, i labeled myself an unfit candidate for plant caring.

When you can, you should give thought to (the reissue of) the Blue Aeroplanes' Swagger. I think you might like it.

If you get ambitious, you might try repotting them, too. A little fresh potting soil and a chance to spread their roots a bit.

Eight years? That would be an all time record for me... I'm lucky to keep most plants alive for 8 weeks. Fortunately, I seem to do much better with cats...

I used to like Reese W for Election and Freeway but she's sure made a lot of junk too.

I love her peanut butter cups, though.

My pleasure It's one of those great lost records, like Shack's Waterpistol (which you should also check out ) - they should have been big, but the record company got bought out by EMI and the villains have only now (fifteen years later!) managed to pull their finger out and agree a rerelease - having refused to sell the rights back to the band in the mean time. Tossers.

I take much care to buy those plants that you can't kill no matter how hard you try. Those are my favorite plants.
