prison plants.

The prison offers a horticulture class to offenders and when the class is over, the teacher allows employees to take home the plants. They have flowers, trees, everything you could dream to grow in your garden. I'm not there on dayshift to get any plants so a girl I work with told me she'd get some for me. I think I brought home six or eight total. I forget what they all were... pepper plants, a rubber plant, tomato plants, and a geranium.

This was in May. Nothing is still alive today. I don't know if it was too hot or too dry or too wet or too shady. I think my rubber plant was too wet. My geranium bloomed last week but has since died.

It's so sad.

This is an Instagram photo of my plants when I first brought them home. I used THIS sketch I found at Let's get Sketchy.
