Because People Named Cassandra Never Lie
I was going to hang out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cassandra_e and her family last night, and she was nice enough to help me run home and pick up some laundry so I could hang out and do laundry at the same time. (Yay, efficiency!) As we were walking up to my door I pointed out the leafy-green dark-blue-berried fringe growing out of the gutter above my porch and dangling down in an ornamental fashion.
"See my beautiful deadly nightshade crop? It's too bad I don't have a use for it," I said.
She admired it for a moment and then said, "I foresee a livejournal post about this--'I have this lovely nightshade crop and nothing to do with it.'"
So here it is. ;-)
I did not really plant the nightshade; it grows wild in the neighborhood and most likely hitch-hiked to the gutter in a bird's intestinal track. If I had known that the upstairs air conditioners were going to do such a good job keeping the gutter watered, I would have climbed up and planted cherry tomatoes--and then I would have a nightshade crop I could actually eat.
