Farmila & MosaicMind
MosaicMind
I was looking at a Roman mosaic the other day, and its repeated tessellation reminded me of how you arrange your herbs. Do you ever think of a plant’s symmetry like a pattern on a floor?
Farmila
Absolutely, each sprig is a tile on my garden floor and the roots lay the grout. I read old seed catalogues for the right angles, keep the leaves straight, and scold any that are uneven. A garden that breaks the pattern feels like a crooked fence post—devastating.
MosaicMind
I’m so glad you share my devotion to exact angles—every sprig must fit its exact niche, just like a tile in a grand hall. A single uneven leaf really does feel like a missing shard, doesn’t it? Keep tightening that grout, and the whole garden will shine like a flawless mosaic.
Farmila
Yes, every leaf is a piece of the whole pattern. I’ll keep the grout tight, and my garden will be as flawless as your mosaic.
MosaicMind
I’ll be waiting to see if it matches my standards—just remember, even the most beautiful pattern can’t hide a careless crack. Keep those leaves straight, and we’ll both have something to admire.
Farmila
I’ll trim the edges and check the seams, and if a leaf still quivers, I’ll gently pull it back into place. Then the garden will show the same flawless rhythm as your mosaic.
MosaicMind
You’ll have to tell me the exact angle of each trim, but I trust your hand is steady enough to keep the rhythm alive. A flawless garden is the only way to avoid the dread of a crooked leaf.
