That is an amazing recovery. You'd never believe how damaged they were before.
I had a small apartment fire once many years ago, and an asparagus fern got cooked to twigs by the smoke. Tossed the root ball out the back door into the flower bed and forgot about it. Move out, apartment is repaired, move back in 3 months later.
Husband asks me one day what I planted in the patio bed? nothing, why? Well, something is growing. It was the fern, the roots had recovered and the fern was sprouting. Repotted it and it lived for several more years!
I am a Hot Chick living in Castle Rock, CO with my fabulous family. We have a rescue dog named "Jackson," and she's a Basenji/Shepherd mix. She's something of a head case, but we love her. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as an Enterprise Solutions Architect, specializing in VoIP and multimedia contact center design. I care about social justice, libraries, science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I knit for charity. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.
