[Quiet Man Cometh]

I suddenly have images in my head of the little mario tube plants and the big thing from Little Shop or Horrors. Haven't seen that movie in ages but I remember a couple scenes from it.

I used to love gardening, and pretty much lived in my mother's gardens when I was home from school from being sick all the time. She had plots and beds and such all over the place. Flowers, shrubs, fruit, berries, trees, and some persistant herbs and vegetables. I got my own little area eventually, and planted primroses and some tulips that cross pollinated. They were purple and white and the next year came up mixed with an almost marbled pattern. I wish I could have snagged the bulbs before we had to leave. Sigh.

We had a peach coloured rose bush that was very nice. I miss it. After we moved I downgraded to a pot but it didn't do as well, and when I moved again I got a smaller pot with some johnnys I pulled from the lawn, and now I have no garden at all. Alas.
