‘It may be,‘...‘that a vegetable appreciates becoming part of another form of life rather than rotting on the ground, just as a human at death may experience relief to find himself in a higher realm of being.‘ Man I‘m only on chapter one and I can tell this book is going to be a trip.🌀

How cute is this? My friend and I have been in a three-way tomato growing competition. (At which I immediately failed - all mine died immediately) the other two are going strong, but they sent me this as a commiseration gift 😂

Cathythoughts This is Very Cute. Tomatoes 🍅 I wish I could remember a tomatoe joke. I have a strawberry one ! What happened to the poor little strawberry? Her Mammy & Daddy got caught in a jam 😢 7y
JoeStalksBeck I love this book! 7y
Jamesfahyauthor @Cathythoughts oh dear.... 😆 7y

Jamesfahyauthor @JoeStalksBeck it was an apt gift. I tend to kill anything I try to grow from scratch 💀 7y
Cathythoughts Ahh , no offence intended, im new to Litsy, I must look you up. All writing is courageous, I always think of that song : " going to write a classic, going to write it in an attic "......... 7y
JoeStalksBeck Haha! It does take practice. Growing vegetables can be a tedious learning experience 7y
Jamesfahyauthor @Cathythoughts don't worry no offence taken 😂 (I'm impossible to offend even if someones trying) I'm not sensitive about my tendency to kill plants, more amused by my own touch of death 😋 7y
Jamesfahyauthor @JoeStalksBeck I've managed to make several working humans, but nurturing plant life eludes me 😋 7y
JoeStalksBeck Lmao!! 7y
Cathythoughts 👍good. 7y
