I got some more plants from Lucy and I
am happy about it. For the past few years I have been having plants,
losing them to gnats, learning how to tend soil properly, and where
to buy the right ones. I am done getting them from large places as I
have done in the past. None of the plants I get from a large store
live and don't even talk to me about getting one from Trader Joe's.
Those things are like table decorations. Lucy is the only one I am
getting plants from...or Camille who also gets hers from Lucy.
Camille has a hell of a garden going now and next time I see her I'll
take a picture so you can see. And also realize that I don't have
nearly as many plants as I could have. When one has a lot of plants
one has to display them.
I ordered a shelf (HENJE) from Ikea. I already
had one that I got from Camille that she'd had for years and I love
it. I finally broke down and decided to get one for my growing plant
collection. So I order online and what do you know the shelf arrives
in a couple of days. It was nuts. I get the package and something
seems off. I can't quite put my finger on it until I open the box and
realize that there are no posts. There are no damned posts! What I
mean is that the box had the shelves, the little bar that goes in the
back, instructions, and screws. No posts that, like, hold it all
together.
