Apples and Oranges

By Anitsirk

This day... 
We had 4 customers scheduled to com pick up their plants, so the plants needed to be pest free... I tackled a bunch of them, some more pests than others. Thankfully, strong arms helped me lift a really heavy planter off the table and to the ground, so I could check the top leaves for pest too. I then took that planter on a cart and rolled it out to the store/ main room, where the customers picked up their plants. They had 5 plants, another had 4, another 7, and then came customers not on our pick up list, and collected theirs. So we got 'rid of' lots of plants today. 
When I had my break I went out in the rain (with my rain coat on) to talk to a friend, and that's when I saw these curled up ferns. He laughed when he saw my delight for them, and told me they've grown there forever, reseeding themselves. 
I plan to take my camera with me on Monday, to get some proper shots on them. 
Then back to killing lice and moving plants.
One of the supervisors drove me crazy when he was hitting the bell we have on the counter, for customers if no one's there. He just wanted to test me, to see if I responded...I was at the middle of Greenhouse 2, taking care of customer plants (killing lice), dropping everything at the sound of that bell.. At some point I threatened him with my soon to arrive steel sword... That stopped him for a little while! :D
