get a dog and maybe someday I will. wouldn’t necessarily count on it though
basil, mint, parsley, was trying some coriander but that packed up quick and I haven’t replaced it yet. bought a chilli plant too but it’s not got any chillis yet so I have no idea what to do with that
?? me? prone to fixation? call the papers mate, they’ll scrap the front page for that
had this friend who, I shit you not, used to spray-bottle me with a plant mister if I wouldn’t drop a joke she didn’t like. glorious woman. she’d kick the herbs into shape if she were here
I’d like that. if I can get something to stay alive longer than a few weeks that’ll be a success
why are people who like plants all stone-cold bastards?
nope. all the herbs are pre-potted ones, I just stick them next to the kitchen windowsill. could get a window box, I guess, but I don't even know what goes in those. there's a garden at the church no one does anything with, though. if I had more of a green thumb I'd sort that out.
do you actually want to play in the ugly garden? because it really is not good
but if I can take some credit for getting you involved then the parish might turn a blind eye to the fact that last Sunday's lesson was about 'bible verses we don't like'
nah, it's all yours. let me know if you want a hand. no gardener but I can follow direction
one of them hated Jesus cursing the fig tree cos he thought it was mean. lots of them thought the Psalms were boring because they're poems, not stories. a few thought the stuff about washing feet etc was weird -- lots of 'ugh' and 'gross' when I told them about the woman who wiped Jesus' feet with her hair.
we haven't done much old testament stuff, or I imagine they'd have plenty more to be confused about
"Diligently"? You're the idiot who listens to the people at the coffee shop.

do you actually have succulents? inquiring minds
and while I’m asking questions, why don’t you have a rescue pit bull, seeing as you’re so clearly in love with the idea? is it a landlord thing
do you want me to sweettalk your landlord into letting you have a dog
no subject
Succulents are easier and I have a fair bit.
[ He likes plants. ]
Some cacti, too.
no subject
do you want me to sweettalk you into letting you have a dog
no subject
How can you not be good at plants?
[ Mostly because plants are simple. Marcus is here calling Logan out on his humanity and he can't even get herbs? Christ. ]
What's wrong with them?
no subject
I don’t know, they just keep dying off. I either do too much or not enough
no subject
What herbs are you growing?
no subject
basil, mint, parsley, was trying some coriander but that packed up quick and I haven’t replaced it yet. bought a chilli plant too but it’s not got any chillis yet so I have no idea what to do with that
no subject
And your chillis aren't growing because it's cold.
Actually none of them are growing because it's cold, probably. I'll lend you a plant book.

no subject
Are those all you're growing? I'll put bookmarks in.
no subject
though in fairness, see how well that's worked, eh
yeah. one of these days I'll try orchids, but I reckon I should wait until I know how not to murder shop-bought basil
no subject
You got a garden?
no subject
nope. all the herbs are pre-potted ones, I just stick them next to the kitchen windowsill. could get a window box, I guess, but I don't even know what goes in those. there's a garden at the church no one does anything with, though. if I had more of a green thumb I'd sort that out.
no subject
Kitchen windowsill in this weather's a bad idea, so nix that until later in April. Get a heating lamp for indoors.
The garden bare or something?
no subject
overgrown, used to be tended to but it's all volunteer run & people lose motivation or move away or get busy
no subject
Anyway, if non-churchgoers can play in the ugly garden, I can fix it.
no subject
but if I can take some credit for getting you involved then the parish might turn a blind eye to the fact that last Sunday's lesson was about 'bible verses we don't like'
so
no churchgoing required, get stuck in
no subject
I'll do some work after my shift tomorrow. Make it a pretty garden. Do the holy people want anything, or.
Hey, what did the kids hate most?
no subject

it was a good class
no subject
no subject
it's a fairly liberal church, but in a catholic context that just means that I'm allowed to wear a leather jacket to Mass
200 foreskins is pretty niche, how's a heathen like you know that one?
no subject
no subject
fuck’s sake, seriously? Jesus what’s wrong with my radar these days. this is the sort of shit I lost my collar over
not really, that was much more interesting than this
no, okay, that makes sense. intense, miserable, diligently cultivates a sense of mystery despite actually having a fairly mundane day to day life
yeah
yeah okay
sounds catholic
