The crops were reaped today. It was exciting. The only surviving members of the Burgaw Experimental Farming Testplot (BEFT - We're the beft!) were a few undernourished carrots and some overdue lettuce plants. A quick taste test of the lettuce was all it took there, B I T T E R, extremely so. Bitter, so as to make consumption unpleasurable and unwise and unhappening. To update: the squashes all melted away into moldy mushiness and the bean plants were decimated by the ants... let's never speak of them again.
On to the carrots. One happened to be carrot-shaped, which was a thrill.
Another carrot was less carrot-shaped and more Maggie-shaped, she was very much enamored with the vegetable version of herself. Can you see the resemblance?
Each dog got a carrot, Weenis got the lean one, Maggie got the plump one. I tasted a piece of Maggie's - not good, but not nearly as bad as the lettuce. Dogs eating homegrown awful carrots. They'd normally be eating grass and dirt, so it may be a step up for them. They also eat dog food.
