How about eating a fresh pea or cherry tomato right off the vine!

My take on “Plant Abuse” .
Well we all have neighbors and friends. Everyone in the universe has some type of mental disorder. Not illness but disorders. Some are substantially recognized while others have learned to shadow a bit under those dark shades of large trees which are often ignored. I am an extremely strong hyper active gardener who also defies anyone who touches my collection of trees, abuses any plant or fanatically batters plants just to dominate their territory.
I work for organizations such as the Salvation Tree Suckers of America and “Battered Plant Syndrome”.
It’s plant abuse pure and simple. Battered plants is an overall syndrome we have seen thru recent studies by the American Horticultural Society (AHS). Some battered plants include tiny new trees which are suckers off the mother plant that cost millions of dollars to remove. It includes a short fuse to include tree suckers. Which is as so many of you know is completely justified.
Battered plant syndrome is not just dropping a pot of zinnias upside down over the neighbors fence, or weed whacking a gardenia. I’m talking about mental and physical abuse. For instance hanging plants from the ceiling, or withholding water and food. No wonder ivy clings for their lives up a tree or wall.
So when you get home tonite never put a plant in a bad room or keep it in solitary confinement deprived of air and light . Remember to supply all the amenities. Like a nice chair to sprawl out on or a comfortable seat for ample space to soak up some rays with a slight breeze along with music for relaxation. A plant spa is recommended of course, a place where plants can exchange energy, water and nutrients.
