We bowed to Gaia on Sunday and came home with a beautiful HARDY, Drought_Tolerant hibiscus and a gorgeous aster which we planted after a proper chant at the moon the night before. We sacrificed all manner of little baby perlites and other nutritious victims probably including, and not limited to, a worm or two, a roly-poly bug or two and even a nasty pincer bug, ALL natives to our area. Oh, my!
