Gabe bought this really cool book on plants and gardening. While studying it one day I found this little piece of paper glued in one of the front pages. Obviously the former owner thought it a valuable addition to his book. This is what it said:
GARDENER'S GUIDE
BULB: Potential flower buried in Autumn, never to be seen again.
DROUGHT: Weather immediately following planting.
HOEING: Manual method of severing roots from stems of newly planted flowers.
HOUSE PLANT: Much better idea.
PROPAGATION: Method of increasing plant population. Normally only effective with weeds.
CREEPER: Slow demolition expert.
I laughed so hard after reading that and when I showed it to Gabe he was almost rolling on the floor with laughter.
Gabe and I are sorta the "gardener freaks" in our home. He's something like a walking encyclopedia and I know quite a few weird plant names (like: phalaenopsis) courtesy of Kiara's flashcards. Anyway, I like plants...a lot. I wouldn't say that I know how to take care of a garden. I just like to, that's all.
Btw, phalaenopsis is an orchid species. So it is actually a real name and not one I made up. I have a white one that sits on my desk. It's not as fancy as the one in the picture, but I think it's beautiful.
