WTF Stories of the Week - Page 11

My WTF story of the week:

Someone moved one of my plants. As in it was planted in the ground, and now it's planted in the large planter with the rose from my mother-in-law. Someone came into my fenced-in back patio area, dug up one of my plants out of the ground and re-planted it in a pot that already had another plant in it.

WTF?!

Believe it or not, i've heard of people digging up other people's plants in a pot and re-planting them in the ground ... to steal the pots.

But the other way around? Gives new meaning to WTF alright.

Pru, keep your eye on it. They may have repotted it to make it easier to cart off at a later date.

Before we get Pru all unsettled, let us remember that she resides in the Seattle area. It's highly likely that some Master Gardener/Greenpeace officer/Starbucks barista just happened to notice that the plant might be happier in the pot and kindly adjusted it's environment accordingly.

A friend of mine had all her rosebushes stolen from her front yard one night (in Arleta) a year or two ago. Someone literally came by and pulled them all out of the ground and took off with them.

I don't think carting it off is an option. First - the plant moved isn't that exciting. Second, the pot it's now residing in is ginormous and not likely to be carted anywhere. I suspect WB is closer to reality, sadly.

Have you ruled out sleep gardening?

Check your night cloths for dirt stains....

Every time I see one of these stories (they are far to common) I wonder what other girls are currently trapped in a dungeon somewhere and when/if they will be rescued. How many are out there, how many will never be found.
