More of a blather-let

[firecat]

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."

I do have 3 daylilies.

The bed has one basil, three pink heather, a Japanese holly, three orange nasturtiums, two hot pink daylilies and a Stella d'Oro (yellow) daylily, some pale yellow marigolds, and it *had* two deep pink and one orange dahlia. (It now has only one pink dahlia.)

I originally had two basil, only one was stolen. The holes were carefully covered with the soil next to them. I have a mental picture of somebody walking along in the dark with a rootball in each hand! And did I mention there's a streetlight on a power pole that sticks out of the bed?
