No, it's not Cousin IT. This is one of my lemon grass plants.  We are definitely having a bad hair day. No maybe it's more like a month.  It's time for a trim! I talk to my plants sometimes, but they keep mum..  Wouldn't it be nice if this plant could say, " Just make it all one length, I'd like to be 14" tall this time." That not being the case I just get the shears and begin.  I give a nice pep talk while I'm working with tales of spring , fresh air, sunshine and warm all day rains.  Perhaps the pep talk is for me. After I'm finished cutting, I remove any dead plant material I notice and give my plant a nice drink.

Now isn't that better? Ooops I guess my trim is not so even. Still, I think I'll stop there. I can always take a little off the top later when I want a nice cup of lemon grass tea.
