She waters the plants every few days. just like the gardening books say. She has placed them near the window to get light; but her roommate, Mary. Insists on keeping a translucent green curtain in the window. Mary wants to keep the curtain closed because she likes to sleep late, and she often forgets to open it when leaving for class. Heidi hasn't made a big deal about it because it is translucent and lets some light through. One morning, Heidi asks Mary to stop at Pike's Nursery to buy some fertilizer on her way home from work. Mary replies that she can save Heidi some money by getting some fertilizer from her dad's storage shed when she goes home the next weekend. Mary's dad is a corn farmer and has all the best plant products. When Mary returns from home, she brings Heidi a bit of fertilizer in a paper bag labelled Aatrex (Atrazine). After fertilizing the plants once, Heidi notices the plants seem to be dying; the leaves are turning yellow around the edges. Finally, Heidi asks Mary to drive her to Pike's so that she can ask someone who works there about why her plants are dying. When she arrives at Pike's, Heidi begins talking to an employee named John. She tells him everything. When she finishes, John tries to hold back the laughter as he explains to Heidi why her plants are dying.
