Rescue Squad

[bonoboboy]

cara0017 gave me a ring today, noting that her father had gone on a murderous rampage in the garden and had already removed many precious perennials and taken them to the dump. Jumping into rescue mode, I sated Seb with some Thai takeout and rushed over to save what was left

What are you trying to grow?

[bonoboboy]

Everything! lol, it's the first time in a long while I've actually had a bit of a yard and dirt in the ground to play with - whee!

[guntar]

I'm wishing you luck! I'm sure it'll look awesome.

Melatonin is working a little TOO well in that it takes a couple of hours to kick in, but makes me completely unable to wake up the next morn'

I have the same effect with Ambien. I don't wake up until 11am or noon. The alarm doesn't work at all.

[bonoboboy]

lol Seb is my alarm clock, and sometimes that doesn't even work!

I can just picture you....surrounded by flowers and plants, cackling maniacally, ranting on about how you're doing Mother Nature's bidding. And soon, soon you and the plants will will the world. You're like a male Poison Ivy! O_o

But I'm tired, so...I'm picturing a lot of things. XD

::beams::

I LOVE it! Now to start giving everyone delirium with my bergmansia! ::giggles & dances about the garden::

[bonoboboy]

hmmm ... but what's a good planty name for a more masculine villain ... I'll have to think on it!

I guess Holly Hock probably wouldn't work for you. And Corpse Flower is too far to the other extreme. ;-) Tho might get you into a warren_ellis graphic novel.

Right now as I'm hearing how elevated you are (this is SUCH a relief!)
I'm thinking of one of Flo's fave sayings: "Come into my garden, I want my flowers to see you." Yup, the sun and flowers do have that
power to heal. When I finally get to O I will want to see, in this
order, you, Seb, and then your flowers. Don't be shocked if I fall
to the ground and kiss the earth. I need some healing too.

After each rampage of groundhog or deer or chipmunk, when I am near to tears, G sez, "You just can't have flowers up here; why do you try?"

Because I have to.

And I am making a little headway. If it wasn't for gardening I would sink. Up here on the mountain the climate zone is nearer to being Canadanadian-like. ;-) I feel your pain at the foreshortened growing season. Oh, if I could have a garden in Florida what wonders there could be. Of course, there I would have the addition of rooting wild pigs to contend against.

BTW What sort of madman takes perennials to the dump?

[bonoboboy]

haha I get so sad whenever one of my plants die or (like when we last moved) I have to leave some behind ... ::cries:: That's probably why I often try to rescue dying plants from the stores!

Madman indeed! I guess when some people get set on doing something, they're going to do it - no matter!

[jscottharris]

Geezy-peezy, the price of nursery perennials, and we're all so impoverished. That's just arch contrarianism, that is.
