Beautiful poem, thanks for sharing. How about one about sprouting seeds?
I work at a wholesale perennial grower, normally just doing plant care. But this week I've been running the vacuum seed machine. Every time I take trays out to the greenhouse I get to walk through the millions of seedlings and it's just had me giddy all week.
Oh my gosh! I forgot to hit reply and my tab has been open for days now! Here's some free style, I'm working on a full post too.
Tiny spots, deep in the dirt. You know which way is up. You strive, you push. Stretching towards the sun, you spread your leaves. Pushing through, you bloom.
One time, the apartment complex I was living at said I was violating my lease for keeping a storage container on my balcony. It was a small, zip up greenhouse with plants in it, which they allowed. When I confronted them about it, they admitted that they only observed it from the ground (I was on the 3rd floor) and that it was fine after all. That "violation" still appears on my rental history today, as the next apartment I rented asked me to explain why there was a violation on my file. Fuck this system.
A lot of properties are modernizing now and using software/systems that has history they can pass on to other complexes when they are called for references.
It's part of the reason I left my old job as a technician. They were wanting me to install an app on my personal cell phone that would gps track me when I was on a work order and when pictures were taken for work orders. Not to mention they were using paycor and required gps tracking on when using it to clock in/out. When I started there we had paper time cards and carbon copy work orders.
Soulless corporations they are. Nickel and dime you to death.
You have a monkey tail cactus. For awhile they grow vertical and then once they reach a certain stage they droop down and grow downward. If you Google monkey tail cactus you can see a bunch of photos. They look very lovely in a hanging basket.
Thanks for the information - I had no idea it was a feature rather than a bug.
Do you know if taking the stakes out and letting it droop as it will would be dangerous for it at all, after being allowed to grow so tall with stakes for about a year?
