Zucchini Grower Pillows

Superfreddy's attempt to fight the ugly zucchini monster were in vain!

Allotment

Our farmer brought fresh beans, tomatoes, corn and squash this week. Nice. You should have bought into the farm share. I've got my own farmer. Mine's cheap. Mine's cheaper. Thanks, mom. You can't take more zucchini?

"I'm rooting for the carrots."

There! I've made my year's supply of zucchini bread! That's kind of a lot. How can you store them all? It's no problem. I just throw out last year's supply.

This is NOT 'nipping out'.

'Then Jack told his mother they were getting out of the dairy business and going into crop production.'

Homegrown solutions for a smaller carbon footprint.

Typical...the weather is lousy all week...then on the weekend it's too sunny to work.

'She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me...'

"Whoever dug up my carrots had better learn to play dead, fast."

These upside-down tomato planters simplify everything. But, dad. Mother nature wants plants to grow upwards. Sez who?

September: All the familiar signs of harvest are with us once more.

'It's amazing how many recipes you can find with courgettes in them when you have to'

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious day when you're ripe and not yet mealy?"

'I say it's spinach and the heck with it!'

'This morning I was the second largest pumpkin at the State Fair...'

'Yup, might be time for a new gardener.'

'I'm in a lot of trouble, but it's worth it. There's not enough dirt left to grow spinach.'

"Gonna be a good crop this year."

The great zucchinis

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

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.

Organic Salad

"Juding by your expression, your mom made kale for dinner."

'Stephen's down on the allotment, gathering in nature's bounty.'

'Can't wait to see those green shoots coming up...'

"Do you remember when all we had to worry about was growing stuff?"

Hair Raising

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.

Birds laughing at a scarecrow.

'Gee - More Zucchini?'

"The governor's granted your stay, but the zucchini fries tonight."
