What My Mother Sent Me...


I need a small favor ... If it's not too much trouble.

I am going away on vacation, and I need a friend to come over to water my plants while I am gone. The plants are mostly geraniums and begonias. In the hot weather they'll probably only need water twice a day. I'll be gone only 21 days. I've attached a photo.

  1. Very funny! I was about to offer to water your plants since I live close by. And then I saw the 21 days and then clicked on the photo.

  2. Not to worry.. geraniums are like cactus. They can go for weeks without water. Sure, I'll take the job. How much does it pay?

  4. I'll do it. I'll just stand out there with the hose and spray the walls. It'll be fun!

  5. Yeah, let Petrea do it. (It's kind of like being a cat lady, isn't it? Where did you find this? It's rather lovely.)

  8. This takes urban gardening to the next level. Did you ever find out where the heck this is? And what do they have, a crane? to water the pots on the wall 15 feet in the air?
