Clarisse McClellan's Daughter

Specifically that one plant, or possibly those two or more plants, whose leaves I was petting as I was selecting herb seedlings for the kitchen garden's starting: I wish I'd known how best to take care of you. I wish I'd had the knowledge of what you need if you're going to a balcony kitchen garden, to say nothing of recipes for later. I wish I'd been able to take you home. I will be keeping a look out if I'm there next week, but as it is, I don't know that the same plant seedlings will be on offer. If it isn't me, may you have found an excellent home to go to in the week between markets, even if it isn't mine.

Wobbly tenses are wobbly. The sentiment behind them is still, hopefully, obvious.
