Strawberry Plant

 

They require MAINTENANCE?  But they are outside, with nature providing for them? I actually just fashioned a cage for my strawberries because the birds and bunnies kept getting them, so for a week or so we had delicious tiny strawberries, maybe one to three a day to share. 

Text:
L: My strawberry plant hasn't been putting out berries anymore - I guess the season is over early?
A: Have you been watering it?
L: Have I been what now?

Angel Harold

 

"Lo, how a rose e'er blooming," ... "As angel heralds said"

Explanation: "Herald" and "Harold" sound the same and I thought of this while singing the song "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming" last year. 

Text:
A: Who said there was an ever-blooming rose - the gardener Harold?
B: Nope, different Harold. 

Mint Survival

 

I couldn't decide which version of the comic was better, so first is my original and next is where I added the clarifying mint plant. 

I like both versions - I feel the first one is more hilarious because how else would you keep a plant alive? Hydroponically? There are air plants but I believe those are very specific breeds of plants, not just anything can grow purely on sunshine. The second version loses some of the hilarity due to the plant being right there, dying in its pot. But once you plant the mint in the ground, it takes over and you can't get it back out! You probably can contain it in a raised bed or something similar. 

Text:
L: At this point, I think I'm gonna plant my mint in the ground since I can't keep it alive otherwise.
R: ... that would be a good plan???
*bonus* - mint plant in a pot, dying from either neglect or over watering or lack of sunlight or ...

English is weird. Also, it's yard work time.

Call a Spade a Spade

After researching, I'm apparently using this phrase totally correctly.
