City Dweller Turned Gardener Pillows

"Since he was laid off in the city he's front traded our allotment vegetables,set up a derivatives market in school luncheon vouchers and bankrupted the piggy bank."

"The woman on the fire escape who acted like it was a balcony"

"I'm rooting for the carrots."

"Did I show you my new climbing hydrangea plants, Mr. Fessler?... Mr. Fessler?"

Gerald was convinced his plants could understand...and dig what he was saying!

"Oh, no - not another farmer's market!"

"Would you look at that! New rooftop gardens, new community gardens: maybe the human race is not doomed after all..."

"Hey! Plants are on sale again! Woo-hoo!"

"Here's my plan. We grow our roots for 30 years until they crack the cement, which dismantles the fence. Then we just push it ove and make a break for it. You in?"

'Look dear - the first skip of spring...'

'The old man's really serious about his rooftop gardening.'
