I also have a pretty big garden.

[2804]

Oh, that's right. Green witch. Green thumb. Growing any weed?

[beatsfor]

Not for some hundreds of years, no.

[2804]

Surprising. What've you got growing?

[beatsfor]

Annatto, Anthurium chamberlainii, frangipani, yellow oleander, zombie ant fungus, black sapote, giant grandadilla, blossfeldia, nipple fruit, chondrodendron tomentosum, brazilian ductman's pipe, peronia, woodland passionflower, vanilla orchids, strychnos electri, gympie-gympie trees... Things like that.

[2804]

I don't know what any of those words mean.

[beatsfor]

They're different types of plants.

[2804]

How big is your damn garden?

[beatsfor]

As big as I want it to be.

[2804]

Bring me some damn flowers next time you come around.

[beatsfor]

Okay, sure. I'll bring you some damn flowers.

[2804]

Make them flowers that you've never brought me before.

[beatsfor]

Never?

Okay. Challenge accepted.

[2804]

Excellent. Nothing ugly.

[beatsfor]

None of my flowers are ugly.

[2804]

I've seen some ugly flowers before.

[beatsfor]

From me?

[2804]

( okay, fine. )

No, not from you.

[beatsfor]

Good answer.

[It was going to be a bunch of grocery store carnations, if she had said yes.]

[2804]

You know your flowers, I will give you that. And you know which ones I like.

[beatsfor]

I'm pretty good at knowing what you like, yes.

[2804]

Pretty good. Always room for improvement.

[beatsfor]

You want to give me a performance review?

[2804]

I should. Get out my red pen and paper and grade you.

[beatsfor]

Ohhh. Yes, you should. Dress the part, too.
