Rock Garden Tour 23: We've Got The Cure For Halitosis!

We almost went with "Ivan Drago Sprouts Fir In Lung" as the title of this podcast. Couldn't get it past corporate in Dolton, SD though. Instead, we broke out the halitosis line. We've been hoping to use it for a while now and it just so happened that this week we actually came up with a permanent cure for the condition. So, all in all, it worked out for the best. Enjoy this week's sampling of the original rock and roll garden show, The Rock Garden Tour. Keep it rural.

This Week's Category: Purple Hater! Plant Murderer!

Another tough night in the studio, Oil Can and I broke the sound barrier at 8pm and we never looked back. We spent most of the evening talking about our late Red Sister (purple foliage plant). It died after about 6 months of intensive care. Fungus got it in the end. Now, you've probably heard, some RGT critics pointed the finger at me calling me a purple hater, plant murderer, claiming I could have done more for the unfortunate foliage. I don't want to give away the ending so I'll stop there, just make sure to catch the podcast.

Above is a photo of LeTwan from over in Pest Control, as a little girl. Her parents told her explicitly to stay away from the tomato patch. As you can see from this shot (snapped as she was in the act of stealing a ripe tomato) we're just a motley crew of rock and roll renegades, and we've been that way from the very beginning.

Ups, downs and every which ways - that about sums up last night's show. What more can you expect from a show set to examine the mystery that is topsy turvy tomatoes?
