Veggie Grower Gifts

Sign on door of gardening company: Digging up some lunch.

One upside-down tomato planter. I can't wait for juicy, free tomatoes. It's $23.37 with tax. Not bad for homegrown tomahtas. Plus $8 for potting soil, $15 for the hanger, $11 for organic fertilizer, $16 � Hey! � Where are you going? To the "Pick and Save" market.

You're not selling those silly upside-down tomato contraptions? I confess. They're fun! Fun? They're an affront to mother nature and common sense. A $3 seed packet grows enough for five families. Why sell over-priced fads? Mother nature never offered to pay my rent.

Cabbage, Lettuce, Beard.

'My mom's planting broccoli and squash. I'm planting popcorn and jelly beans.'

Birds laughing at a scarecrow.

Prize vegetables.

The Endless Battle of the Organic Gardener

Allotment

'We use to tiptoe through the tulips. . . now we just waddle through the weeds.'

"First Lady Lettuce goes missing, then Colonel Crouton followed by Reginald Radish... Great Caesar's Ghost! Someone is making a salad!"

Don't mind us. We're just trying to eat more locally grown food.

'You wouldn't happen to be sitting on my entry to the straightest runner bean competition?'

Planting seeds in garden - broad beans and jelly beans.

'I'm worried about him, he eats his vegetables, but not his dessert!'

"Oh, mournful and terrible engine of horror and crime—of agony and of death, not asparagus again!"

"Steamed vegetables."

"I'm rooting for the carrots."

See you at the farmers market!

'Looks like Reginald wasn't kidding when he said he's going to start urban farming on the roof...'

"Son, you can't get blood from a turnip!"

"Just a couple of ninety cent seed packets, and you can have fresh garden vegetables for heaven knows how long."

"What do you call a person who only eats corn?"

"I hope we can sell everything before it's time for mom to make dinner."

'Good morning pumpkin.' 'Good morning treasure.' A pile of treasure saying 'good morning' to a pumpkin

"I can't make it out - on the packet it said radishes."

Excellent crop! What's your secret?

This is NOT 'nipping out'.

-A garden uses a lot of water. -Most of it perspiration.

Planting veggies

'You're still keen on organic gardening then!'

"My God!!..Just how long have we had this Broccoli hiding in the back of the fridge?"

"There's got to be a better way to raise potatoes!"

'Strained Carrots Again? What am I being punished for this time?'
