      Aquarius.

      *Have listened to the Hair soundtrack, which taught me that when the moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets, and love will steer the stars. Which sounds sorta nice.

        I am seeking advice from a horticulturist, though it does not concern plants

      Seven

      My friend told me yesterday that seven is the best number, and I should hold that as a fact, not opinion.

          How dare you question me! As I am a merciful witch, I will not strike you down with boils upon your hinder parts, but will instead inflict the horrors of choice upon you and you alone. And the subsequent consequences … all choices come with consequences. Or you could just count them out - yan, tan, tethera, pethera, pimp, sethera, lethera, hovera, covera, dik, yan-a-dik, tan-a dik, tethera-dik, pethera-dik, bumfit, yan-a-bumfit, tan-a-bumfit, tethera-bumfit, pethera-bumfit, jiggit. Depending of course on how many sheep you have.

              I didn’t make that up. And some of the regional variations are far worse to modern ears. It’s the old celtic numerals - after a millennium or so of speaking english instead, and a traditional counting out “rhyme”. If you are counting real live sheep, you count each one and at the end of the series tie a knot in a piece of string. The number of knots at the end give you the number of sheep in multiples of 20. This is how you count sheep to fall asleep - recite the list in your head. Over and over.

          Orange trees are beautiful to grow, they have a lovely shape, the leaves are dark and glossy, the flowers are pretty and perfume the whole back yard, the oranges look great on the tree and are delicious to eat. Can recommend. 👍

      Tarantula

      There are several plants in my garden that I have managed not to kill (and many spiders)
