<\/a><\/p>\nThere is a rabbit devouring the Swiss Chard.<\/p>\n
If you stop by to chase out those critters, you might want to check out the peppers.\u00a0 They’re falling over because you never got around to putting in a cage for support.<\/p>\n And something has gone wrong with the Three Sisters Garden.\u00a0 The pole beans are pulling down the corn stalks and smothering the squash.\u00a0 Perhaps a few stakes are called for?<\/p>\n Hello?\u00a0 Are you there?<\/p>\n The herbs desperately need to be cut back.<\/p>\n <\/a> I just don’t understand.\u00a0 Why aren’t you coming?<\/p>\n There are some pretty flowers to look at.\u00a0 Come see the pretty flowers, farmer.<\/p>\n Oh, and bring the Castille soap spray.\u00a0 Because there are squash bugs.<\/p>\n And ants.<\/p>\n Yep.\u00a0 Beetles.<\/p>\n Bring the lawnmower, too.\u00a0 Because the garden path doesn’t need to be weeded. It needs to be mowed.<\/p>\n Why are you treating me like this?\u00a0 Have you forgotten what I gave you last time you were here?<\/p>\n And the time before that.<\/p>\n But now you just leave my bounty unharvested…<\/p>\n …my crops overgrown and inedible…<\/p>\n …my riches left to rot in the field.<\/p>\n Have you no shame?\u00a0 Should I have your mother call and remind you about the starving children in China?\u00a0 Can you hear me?<\/p>\n \n Help! I am blighted!<\/p>\n Bitten!<\/p>\n And what the hell is this?<\/p>\n Oh.\u00a0 I see.<\/p>\n Well, well, well.<\/p>\n Didn’t we talk about this last summer?<\/p>\n You said this year it wouldn’t happen.<\/p>\n \n \n \n \n \n Yes, I know you’re busy.<\/p>\n With so many stressful summer responsibilities.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
