A picture would help. Maybe add a picture of your thumb?

I swear on my great-great grandmother's grave, those plants were unkillable. Fortunately, I don't know where any of my great- great grandmothers were buried, because I'm beginning to think you could kill a rock. The mushiness sounds like "too wet," which shouldn't bother those species, but let's see some pictures first. Maybe it's really no problem.

How did the finals go?
