[livejournal.com profile] snippy also asked me:

Should I keep trying with my plants, or resign myself to theft?

(For background, see her post on the subject.)

If someone repeatedly stole my plants, I'm sure I'd give up eventually, or plant poison ivy; but from this distance I find myself thinking "Someone who steals plants must really need them. Maybe I will continue to provide them with plants and consider it a sort of spiritual gift to the universe, a declaration of my faith that everything is connected and therefore what does a plant-stealer good also does me good."

What a wonderfully harmonious idea!

My own not-quite-so-harmonious idea is to leave her little notes saying "Try this one today, it's nearly ripe for picking!" or "Don't steal this one yet please, I'm saving it for my Aunt Mavis." Bet that would stop her right quick...
