But I always neglect to weed it, or water it or do anything except plant the vegetables. <BR/><BR/>You were lucky that the plant that you were given wasn't poisonous to cats.debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520916893372615911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-357319904965779892009-03-09T20:31:00.000+00:002009-03-09T20:31:00.000+00:00Mac - me too, but it's with Bonsai Trees!The poor ...Mac - me too, but it's with Bonsai Trees!<BR/><BR/>The poor little things take years of loving care and attention (no doubt from a Mr Miyagi look-alike character of The Karate Kid fame)to reach that point of perfection when some poor misguided soul walks into the shop and thinks, 'Oh my, George will love this Bonsai Tree for his Birthday/Father's Day/Christmas etc...' and then they go and pay heavy £Squids to get it all gift wrapped and bring it to me. <BR/>That's the kiss of death for sure.<BR/><BR/>Well - the last one only took me two weeks to reduce to a leafless and lifeless TWIG!!! It's not that I don't care, I just either forget to water, water too much, don't feed, add too much feed, the wrong feed, wrong temperature water, leave in a chilly place, too much sunlight, no sunlight, go away for a week and completely forget to feed and water!!!! Arrrrghhhh! There's a veritable Bonsai graveyard in my garden and I've kept all the miniature pots for replacements - one day, when I'm as old as Mr Miyagi! <BR/>I've killed all these trees yet miraculously all my six children have survived! Thank God for my wonderful wife who always remembers to feed and water the kids (and me!). She was even responsible for almost resurrecting one or two Bonsai until I said that 'I'll take control now' and guess what.... dead! So Mac, you have my sympathy. We'll send you chocolates for your Birthday!Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031618301013986930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-43963179078514735482009-03-09T20:30:00.000+00:002009-03-09T20:30:00.000+00:00LOL Mac!
