And that happens even to the greenest thumbed people. You don't have to kick yourself for that. And cacti are easiest to kill- all you need to do is overwater them.<br /><br />@ Laura- like I said, cactuses are actually very easy to kill. Neglect is better for them than care.<br /><br />@ Margot- thank you. It was a fun drabble to write, precisely for the contrast.<br /><br />@ RA- thank you so much- that was really kind of you.<br /><br />@ Clarissa- fake plants are perfect for anyone who doesn't want to give TLC to plants every single day.<br /><br />@ Alex- sensible lady!<br /><br />@ Jules- and I bet the neighbour is really happy to share the view.<br /><br />@ Jemi- isn't that a pity. I hope you are able to find good homes for them.<br /><br />@ Dyche Designs- why do you think it is called mother-in-laws tongue?! And that too is a cactus of some kind, unless I am mistaken.<br /><br />@ Ann- I admire anyone who can grow plants indoors- like you, I have stopped tryingNatashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481081735923606868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041251042986195891.post-89485897312817185532010-09-19T22:20:37.673+05:302010-09-19T22:20:37.673+05:30I can grow lovely things outdoors.

My thumb seems to be getting blacker (if possible).
