MAXIMIZE YOUR PLANTS. Cut a stem, put it in water, replant, now you have double triple maximum plants. Keep one inside in a pot for the winter, repeat the process and have herbs galore: basil, rosemary, nasturtium. Works for most houseplants too.
I’m at an age and stage of my professional life that I don’t trust people/can’t handle those who are unable to say ‘no’ and know their limitations. I’d rather hear a ‘no‘ than have you occupy a position that you’re simply unable to fulfill. Makes working really difficult, unnecessarily.
