Day 2165 Plant lifesaving

18th July 2023

There was a drive to Zeeland to collect a dresser, that started at ten bucks but ended being six because that was all I had on me, we should use that ploy more often.

We found the house with the dresser on the front porch. This meant carrying it down steps, but not before we removed all the drawers. Everything was loaded when Kelli noticed some sad looking plants by the roadside next to the trash bin. Normally when things are on the roadside they are not wanted, so Kelli messaged the dresser person to check that they were not wanted. After a few minutes, with no reply, she took an executive decision and we loaded them into the truck.

All of them needed water, the pots were dry as a bone.

As soon as we got home she soaked them with water. You could almost hear a sigh of relief from the plants as they absorbed the moisture.

We then went on a bike ride to the park, by the time we got back the plants had transformed, they had swelled up and looked happy again. We will keep them in our intensive care area for another day before finding them a permanent place in the garden.
