Maybe it was the "I'm not mad at you, I'm just disappointed talk" you gave them. Either way it looks like you'll have a bit of a show there. :)

Just goes to show what a good old talking to can do, brilliant start, hope you get many more.

Congratulations, Richard. I must try a pep talk with mine, Though they're all a little young yet.

Look at the poor thing shiver, you scared it with threats!

ez - you reminded me of a friend!

She asked if I talk to my plants. I said sure. She said her brother talks to his plants, sings to them and even reads to them and that must be why his plants do so well. I pointed out that talking to the plants (close up) blows your exhaled CO2 at them, and they use it to grow. I mentioned that it doesn't matter what you are saying and you can even cuss them out.

So now when she calls she asks if I was out cussing my plants! LOL

UH OH - looks like it re-posted a bunch of posts from others, just like mentioned in another thread. First time this has happened to me. I use Firefox. This is weird. It doesn't show up on refresh, tho.

Look at that! Nice surprise!

I read somewhere that music played to plants changes their structure on a microscopic level, so don't cuss your plants. They may turn into the little shop of horrors! ~:-]

Yes, my friend and I were actually discussing different music and tone of voice around our plants. She has a brown thumb, big time! And I think the reason why is exemplified by her only taking away my joking comment on cussing the plants.

My plants may be in trouble, though. I generally blast 60s-70s music out there! Thanks for the link!

You'd think 60's and 70's music would have them growing wild and hairy, lol!
