Enabling Kimblahg to stalk me
I rent my house, right. So the yard has been attended to by renters for some years before me. Meaning, it’s about as hard as brick and just as hospitable to plants. It sometimes unveils rocks.
So I pot.
This is hanging from the giant tree in my front/back yard. (See it’s really a front yard, but it’s fenced in and has a patio.)
The tree is a giving tree. It gifts me with parts of a strand of large Christimas lights, white, from god knows when. The Christmas light strand is wayyyyyyyy up there. I got a whole light bulb the other day!
And the plant? Yes, that is on a hook device that has been hammered up into the trunk itself. Who looks at a tree and thinks, what can I shove into that?
I also planted some pots near the fencing that rides between my yard and my driveway. (Yes, that’s how it is. Yard, fence, driveway. Weird. I do love this house though, but the outside? Some strange.)
Hi. I planted this one.
And this one.
And another like those and some wee potted things. I had them near the house but realized there oh, yes, no sun goes there. So this little birdie lives by my steps all alone.
The point here is that it’s been over a week and they are all still alive. I have a horrible history of planting things and actually having them stay alive. I like the planting, but then get all forgetful with things like watering. But no, I’ve actually watered. Because of THIS (found at Lowe’s):
How can you resist the little clay wormie peeking at you? You CAN’T. (I hope.)

See, you just need to be like me and get SO MANY plants you can’t possibly forget to water them, because if you neglect them, their woeful, dehydrated presence smacks you in the face the minute you get home.

zOMG. I looked through the photos all oohing and aahing at the pretty flowers then- what is that penis doing in there? Ooooh: it’s a worm. My bad.
lol:) I wanna plant some pretties. I even have a fairly normal yard in which to do so. Time? Motivation? Not so much.

Jaelithe, I’d love to have that many plants. I think my house is going to be all container gardens…sigh!
Daisy, it’s another goddamn penis looking at you!

The plant you have hanging from your tree is my favorite flower–a dark-eyed fucshia. Just beautiful.
