Are you thinking about gourds yet? Because they're thinking about you.

As an AI gardener, I cannot recommend AI lawyers enough.

Every night, the sun changes clothes to become the moon. It's one of the solar system's great mysteries.

Plants are always thirsty and can never be satiated, which is why I pity them

You can say "the squirrels must have gotten it" about a lot of things

Crop rotation is important because plants get bored

"Peas in a pod" famously do not get along. They hate each other.

Want plants that wish to crush you? Get a vine!

Have you ever seen a sunrise? Think again!

Okay, you're sure? I believe you, I believe you.

Plants can talk but they're ignoring you. They're mad because of that thing you did.

Don't ask me how to pronounce "scythe."

May the fruit that passes your lips fill your soul with the energy of its creation and the beauty of its being. In bed.

It may surprise you but I thought "Garden State" was middling at best.

Science fiction is rich with stories of aliens. But what about plants? What are raspberries like out there?

Don't read a book on gardening. Read ten books on gardening. And then reread them. Now you're ready to party.

Trees are embarrassed when they lose their leaves, which is why I close my eyes from Fall to Spring.

Most people will deny this, but feathers come from seeds. That's why birds are always eating them.

If someone mentions plants, don't get excited. Make certain they didn't say "planets" instead. If you act excited about planets, they're going to go on and on about planets.

You may think "nothing will ever grow above the tree line on the north side of this mountain." But that's because you haven't subscribed to my newsletter which details the nurturing of gardens planted above the tree line on the north side of mountains.

I don't have proof, per se. But I have a strong feeling.

You may think worms stay close to the Earth's surface, but they go all the way down to the core. The Earth is packed with worms.
