My little dracaena marginata Keith now wants to be an advice columnist, doling out words of wisdom to lovelorn flora. I said it could answer some questions in today's post.
Dear Keith:
I am a legume seed and just noticed my next-door neighbor. We have a lot in common: we’re both round and green, we both live in the same structure, and we both hope to sprout. Do you think things will work out for us?
Hopeful
Dear Hopeful:
You sound like two peas in a pod! This could definitely work!
Keith
Dear Keith:
I am a tamarack who fell for a beautiful willow down the road, but it left me in the larch! Should I have seen this coming? Are willows bad news?
Timber! (Fell for the Wrong Tree)
Dear Timber:
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: willows will just leave you weeping. Palm trees are the best trees for dates. For a long-term commitment, find yourself a sequoia.
Keith
Dear Keith:
I am a pumpkin who asked the melon in our garden patch to marry me, but its family does not approve of interspecies relationships. I begged it to run away with me, but it refused. Is this relationship doomed?
Punky
Dear Punky:
What kind of melon are we talking about? Remember that many a melon can’t elope.
Keith
OK, Keith, that's enough of that. Maybe you should go back to writing romance novels.
