Was trying to explain a friend how common it is for native plant growers to be running operations out of their homes. Felt like the start of a true crime podcast to her 😅

This sounds about what my wife would say if I didn’t join her.

That sounds like a conversation my partner and I would have 😂😂😂

I have a friend I text for stuff like this. She gets it immediately, my husband is totally clueless about possibly being abducted during a marketplace exchange.

Plant people are good people.

This is absolutely how they could get me.

Last time I went to get native plants from a random stranger she had a turtle just randomly laying eggs in her front yard. We had a little chat about it, then I left.
It was quite nice considering I don’t see wildlife really since I moved to the cities, especially with grass deserts everywhere.

Have literally told my husband “hey, a random person I met on Reddit is coming over to get some native plants. Since you won’t be here, I just want you to know what happened in case I’m murdered.”

I do the same thing😆. The last time I was sourcing some cut logs. His FB pic was Chucky! I was a little hesitant but went anyway.

Lol my friend called me once “I met a guy in Lowe’s who said I can come to his house and dig up plants”. She sent me the address and I met her there with a shovel and garbage bags. So we could dig up the plants and put them in the car without getting dirt everywhere, or if he tried anything kill him and dispose of the body.

I dream of one day sharing plants like this, but I have jumping worms in my yard, which complicates things. If I rinsed them off I suppose I could share bare root plants.

I always say when I text those native plant people…
Hey, you’re not gonna murder me are you, I’m fat and you need two to carry me.

Kid – Daddy, there’s a strange man in the yard
Husband – he’s out there with your mom, it’s fine
Resident mockingbird – who the hell is this and why is he in my territory!? Let me know if I need to dive bomb him
Me 15 minutes later – oh, that was [name], I’ve been helping him build his native pollinator garden. I just gave him a bunch of plants 🪴
Sometimes I wonder if some spouses snoop only to find texts about plants and links to scientific papers on local invasive species 😆

I almost had a stranger from Reddit come to my house to dig up milkweed… until I realized it was Dogsbane.

I have some seeds to give. I should post in my neighborhood chat that I am dealing now.

Years ago I bought a really nice rhododendron and planted it in my front yard with some other bushes. I came home one day to it ripped out of the ground. I figured it had to be someone in the neighborhood so I drove around looking for it. I never found it.
