Donkey's Tail Gets a Trim

I have this cute flamingo planter in which I have a "Donkey's Tail" plant. I think that I originally purchased the plant, much smaller in size, as a "mercy buy" from Walmart. I always feel so sad for those plants because no one seems to be taking very good care of them.

This plant has done unbelievable well in the spot where it sits in the kitchen. The problem is that the "tails" get a bit unruly at times and then I end of with a bunch of little broken off pieces all over the floor. So, it had to have a "hair cut". You can see that I cut a bunch off. I'm sure by the end of the summer, the tails will be quite long again.

I just wish I had another pot to throw the cut pieces into or something. hmmm...wait...maybe I do...I'll have to check that out.
