Root for my root. But honestly at this point, Ive had tons of fun with my boy parts and to avoid this mess, Id give them all up.

I can get down with a coontie plant, so I can’t discount the entire family, but I hate Sago Palms. Like actually hate them. It’s the only plant I don’t like and I don’t really know why. I’m fascinated by the cycad collector story though, can’t wait to read. Sending healing energy your way.

Having to wait yet more time for your surgery has to be awful. Anytime lost is the garden is torture and I'm sure your limit was passed ages ago. Great article as always and this girl has again learned something new, thanks
