Sad news - our plants didn't make it

Erin made it back from her wanderings and Marissa did a fabulous job on her crazy long Hood to Coast run (averaged 8.5 min miles over the course of her 17 miles!).  Shauna has been extremely busy in the meantime.  We are all back on top of it now (or at least getting there). 

Not really sure what to do about the plants that we massacred through negligence though.  So far, we have been dumping water on them CPR style in the hopes that some sort of life will return.  Maybe we should cut them back?  Or should we give up on growing green life altogether?  Erin's copper Navajo ring turned her thumb green but maybe that doesn't mean anything after all...
