Angry Veggies: Captured or Harvested?

Dear Molly,

Only the squirrels know the answer. OK. The early bird might. The worm could be turning.

You were right.

These Veggie Invaders certainly got sacked.

Spooky about veggies. Worried they know we’re on to them.

Researchers eavesdropped on some Arabidopsis, and discovered that thale cress practices Chemical warfareOnce annoyed, the plants even arm themselves to protect against future attacks.

Whole new meaning for “chemical plant”.

Time to round up some Plant Whisperers?

Oh, bad word choice. “Locate”, not “Roundup“.

Could be misinterpreted.

Just in case they are monitoring, best not to escalate things.

Looks like a real horror story growing.

Strange things snort of normal around Holler-Ring.

(And some just stick around….)

Spies or diplomats? What are they planning? They are obviously discussing something. And that tall one? She’ll grab you the moment your back is turned. Ask any neighborhood kid.

Keep an eye on the bulging orange Veggie Invaders.

Who knows what they are cooking up.

Hope all the veggies you bag are tasty, Oh they may be listening co-opoerative ones.

And the rest of the veggies soon bundle themselves up and haul out of here. Chop. Chop.

Yours in fur,

The German.

    I agree, I bet one day the orange invades will rule our earth… and I can’t help to beat them because I’m a strict carnivore :o)

    I think the orange invaders are out to get Molly and the rest of us just don’t realize yet that we’re all in danger. Except maybe the cat. . .

      Molly, “That cat. Where’s that Paw of Fury? Could use a whacking wave or two – and she’s disappeared. Some say cat don’t really exist – they are all nightmares – i mean, dreams in our heads…I don’t know. RC Cat seems pretty solid…solidly grouchy…Thanks for fretting along”

    Today I discovered that some people make a jelly from pyracantha berries. I’m not going to sample any of it.

      Birds get totally drunk on those berries here – fall down and wobble around.

    Unfortunately, my favorite veggies are the pure-sugar variety that come in those Brach’s bags.

      Only one pumpkin bag is allowed in the house each year – so addictive…but they do count as vegetables, right? Thanks for carving up a comment

    I am going to turn my local Orange invader into a curry. But not before posing for photographs with the three black cats.

      Do you think those veggies hopped willingly into the bag? Some here are painting pumpkins teal…seems a bit wrong somehow. (Actually it’s to signal the house is handing out non-food treats in case kids have allergies). Hope you bag a grape Halloween…(How we hated the fruit treat houses as kids!) Thanks for such a comment treat

    I love pumpkin anything — but am trying to cut back on sugar. Just realized this morning that I hadn’t bought any Halloween candy. Must correct this before the haunting hour tonight. Happy Halloween Karen!

    As if cats and dogs living together wasn’t enough to try a woman’s patience, now we have candies masquerading as veggies. Whatever is the world coming to? Happy Halloween, Karen. Make a spooky one.

      It goes along with pizza masquerading as a veggie! Simply a ghoulish development. Hope you have a howling good Holler-Ring

    Gotta watch those orange veggie invaders. I’m sure the sugar is tasty, but I’ll have to stick with carrots 🙂
