How does your garden grow?... Photograph: Graeme Robertson/Getty Images

Some fascinating responses last week. Some of you have some very unusual ideas of what consitutes an upbeat break-up song but it's all good fodder for debate.

British summertime is coming and so, in theory at least, is spring. Accordingly, next week's playlist will be songs about plant life: trees, shrubs, grass, flowers and so on. Exceptions as follows: nothing you can eat or smoke, and only things that are growing. So songs about plucked flowers (like Kanye West's Roses) don't count but ones about living ones (like (I Never Promised You) A Rose Garden) do.

Deadline for recommendations is Monday 1pm. The archive of previous columns is accessible here.
