An experiment on the sociability of plants.
I live in town and there is a very large plane tree just outside the front
door. For some time I have tried to grow an agapanthus around the base of this tree purely for ornamental purposes. Alas, all previous attempts have failed because these newly-planted African lilies succumb to the attentions of dogs and vandals. At this point I might just mention 'en passant' about the continued inexorable rudeness and endless babbling of the incumbent troll-creature trying to pass his potty-training exam. Anyway, this time I thought I would try planting a whole clutch of agapanthi together and this involved the hiring of a large electric jack hammer. It was tough going because the tree roots kept getting in the way and the jack hammer was ineffective in cutting through these. Nevertheless I managed a fairly large hole after a lot of work into which I lowered a very large clump of well-established plants, pausing only to trim the copious root system with a breadknife. It all looks magnificent, of course, and I will keep members informed. There are about eight large plants in this clump and I hope this will be a good test. I feel I should warn the reader about the rapacious habits of the machinery-hiring gypsies who require not only a large fee, but a driver's licence and the number plate of one's automobile. |

Yeah sure, that's really scientific there, Heisenberg.
