How Does Your Garden Grow?

Martell and I have decided to grow a garden. By garden I mean a plant. Singular. It seems to like us so far though. It could stand for some company of the vegetative variety I'm sure, and although Mar does sit around the house a lot, doing homework is too mentally active for him to count as a vegetable. However, as much as it lacks some hearty fellowship, there simply is no place for such a friend. Taking it in alone was quite a risk on our part. We don't even know it's name. It was found amongst many others like it; unknown, hanging around on the corner (in a grocery store of all places!). It could be dangerous really, but it looked like with a loving home it could really come around. So we would like to introduce you to the newest member of the Strong Family...Plant.

So... I think that this may be a dieffenbachia, which is a common house plant known to cause temporary paralysis of the vocal chords when ingested. Needless to say, I've noticed a few of its leafs missing lately and Katie keeps offering me "herbal tea". Should I read anything into this?

Martell!!! You know perfectly well that my mom is the one who figured out what Plant is and that you are the one who wanted a dieffenbachia in the first place! You are in big trouble mister. And, No I don't want any tea!

Martell, I found your blog from Tracie's. It sounds like you have some tough decisions to make as a newlywed. Good luck with that!
