| - Oh bluegrass.
I knew I was getting myself into trouble when I strolled in, evening attire, nails and hair did.
Oh, the "what the heck are you doing here, are you lost look" from the male associate should have turned me right back around out the door.
But through the endless supply of garden decor, halloween yard props, zillions of pots, birdhouses I marched, right to the green house. It was like I walked into the secret garden.
Plants. Plants everywhere. Every size and every kind possible. Ones that bugs eat. And ones that eat bugs.
And if you are still reading this by now, you would have noticed I have *zero* idea of how things naturally grow outside of a house.
I explained my ignorance to a lady associate, and she told me exactly what plant could outlive my ignorance and habit of murdering photosynthesizing life forms. (Biggest word I know). She sent me off with a green palm tree, that she promised will grow up into a real tree, and a red flower type thing that is suppose to outlive the harshest of torment.
Another kind lady helped me pick a pot and even "potted" the plant (put the thing in some more dirt and shove it in the new pot) for free. FREE! And I didn't even have to DO anything! That's my kind of gardening!
Well that was a month ago, and my plants are still living. Pics for proof to come.
Well done Blue Grass, your kindness and grace has renewed my sense of "life giver."
-1 star for the gent who gave me the stink eye and refused to help me pick out the right bag of dirt/ fertilizer/ growth soil(?) and then watched me helplessly teeter out the door in my 4 inch heels, two plants and a bag in tow. Dude you suck.
