"I need 3 purple basil plants" - she says.
"Only 3?" - I say.
"Start them so I can plant in 3 weeks." - she says.
"Should I start 6 just to be sure?" - I say.
The "LOOK" burns into my skin.
"Ok!" - I say < meekly >

Thanks.
Built from the remains of a cedar fence I tore down.
@bigpawbullets Did you make it up as you went along or go by something you had seen previously?
@Free_2B_Me
Made it up as I went along is a good description.
I took the height of the work surface by measuring the height of our kitchen counter. Length was based on the dimensions of fence pickets.
I've made a couple benches. The one next to that hammock was going to be a potted herb bench out in the garden. Then Linda ( SHE who must be obeyed) decided it was just the right height for a wine glass stand. She's VERY smart. Think I'll adjourn to that spot.... right now.
for above:
@bigpawbullets Oh wow! That's really nice! You did a great job!
@Free_2B_Me
Thanks! I've spent part of today cutting up the remains of the cedar woodpile from that old fence. It's time to expand the garden space.
@bigpawbullets Take lots of pics! (I always do a Before, During, and After type thing to show the progress.)
Like... Is there a seed shortage out there?

Nope. She's "frugal"
@bigpawbullets lol frugal with seeds? Wow
@CraeftSmith
She can't help it. She's a CPA
@bigpawbullets fair enough! Respect to her. I would not want that job ?
Plant 6, 3 may not germinate and if all 6 do then they make a nice gift. Meet the neighbours, make a new friend.

Or enemy. One plant is fine; they spread.
@AstralSmoke they do propagate pretty easily until the snow flies, then they are toast where I am.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
