I have come about halfway through Return to Zork, I'm at the Cliffs of
Depression, and I notice that I need a healthy bonding plant.
Apparently, I just yanked the bonding plant out of the ground near the
sign at the beginning of the game instead of correctly digging it out
with the knife.  Well, now I realize what I did wrong, but is there
any way to correct the situation without having to restart the
_entire_ game from the beginning?  Help me revive my bonding plant!

If I do have to start the game from scratch, I think that is
incredibly poor design on the part of the writers.  If there was some
kind of warning message when you yanked the bonding plant, that would
be one thing.  But you shouldn't be able to do something makes it
impossible to finish the game and not even find out about it until
much, much later...
