  • Although they may look delicious, you cannot eat trees... only parts of trees... specifically "fruit".
  • Squirrels are not plants. Water them only for amusement, not to make them grow.
  • Plant in the spring, harvest in the fall. But you can listen to the seminal Neil Young albums Harvest and Harvest Moon at any time of year
  • Lobby your local congressional representative to have your garden declared a historical landmark, for tax purposes.
  • Some plants will grow better if played classical music. Conversely, orchids like the later atonal works of Philip Glass.
  • Never plant potatoes and carrots in adjacent beds. One time, on lj, potatoes called carrots "smelly and gross" and carrots called potatoes a "dirty skank slut" and they haven't spoken since.
  • If you name your plants individually, you will take better care of them. Do not try this for blades of grass though. There's like a billion of those little fuckers.
