That would make a GREAT ad for Merril shoes! Next time you are in town, I will have to tell you about our family spring break trip: we went to the Refuge where HH goes on Freshmen O! good times…your name came up, of course…

Hope you are well.

How do you transplant out of the mesh of a shoe?? Sadly, I don’t know if these little guys are gonna survive. There was a third seedling in the toe of the left shoe, but now only one remains. They survived miles of biking through the city and I just watered him. Besides, I think it’s probably grass and even if it wasn’t, it would be a coastal redwood (tallest trees in the world). I think sequoias are found farther to the east. Screw rooftop gardens; let’s grow vegetables out of our shoes and out of our ears and hair!!

Put them in a pot, they’ll grow well here. That’s what’s growing in Garfield Square
