The balcony is not at peace. If I were to leave my plants as they are, or, in the state of nature, if you will, then the insidious and stupid tuber that I planted may soon kill my other plants by smothering them with its deadly vines. You can see from the above pictures how it is already beginning to happen. Perhaps this is what would happen if one ever did employ the pit technique for raising childen. Sure, you think you save yourself a lot of time and aggravation by not worrying about multiple kids and then just nuturing the one that makes it out of the pit alive, but I suppose there would be a good chance that the one that survives is a real cold-hearted bastard, like this stupid tuber, for example.
I assume that you are residing in a place without access to real dirt. Garlic will grow in the dirt and may grow on your balcony after wintering over. We have the noxious vine in TN where it is known as "Love Vine." It grows all over and is just about impossible to remove by hand. It always breaks and leaves a little bit of root to continue to exist. We have varieties that get as big as the host tree: over 6" across.
ReplyDeleteSir, your assumption is correct.
