In Katie's garden everything grew. She first put this to a test planting jelly beans, being rewarded with a miniature tree bearing sweets. Post-it bookmarks grew into a plant with rectangular leaves in neon colours. An USB stick buried sprouted small chips covering the ground, moss-like. A pin was a seed for a silvery bristling cactus.
Everything grew, bigger every day, until there was hardly any room to move left. The plants were starting to spread beyond the boundary.
Katie planted a coal. It brought forth fire, blooming brilliantly.
What would YOU plant in such a garden?

I love the examples you use for things that were buried and what came out. Nice descriptions and creative response to the prompt.

Thank you!
Hm, I think planting money should lead to a harvest of play money.
An unusual, and charming microflash Anke, Katie's garden sounds wonderful, but I think greed would get the better of most people who had access to it.
Good question. I wanted to keep the story short, though.
I really don't like zombies, if that's any kind of reassurance.
Having recently helped bury our cat in the shade of a potted apricot, I'm worried to know what happened to any pets Katie interred out there...
