My neighbor and my plant.....
Ok, last year I bought this beautiful hanging basket of Ice Plant. It has small fat leaves with tiny needle tipped pink flowers. I gave my neighbor a start and a few months later, due to my laziness, my plant died. However, my neighbor's flourished.

This summer, I asked her for a start from her beautiful plant(which I'd given her) and she said "NO!" Can you believe that? The very next day she asked me for potting soil so she could replant hers in a hanging basket..........Urg!!!

What do you think I said..........................


I said yes..........damn it's all that southern hospitality stored up in my blood.
I went to my mom's that same weekend and got a start of ice plant from her. Nanny Nanny Boo Boo!

Damn, I love my mother.

Now, someone please tell me how to not to kill it.........
