Garden Jokes

Weeds

• A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows.
• When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

Pests and Disease

• A biology student did an experiment on a grasshopper. If its legs were taken off what would happen?
  He pulled off one of its legs and yelled "hop!", and the grasshopper hopped.
  Then he took another leg and yelled "hop!" and the grasshopper hopped.
  Then he took all of its legs and yelled "hop!" but the insect did not hop. He yelled again, but the insect did not hop.
  So he concluded that when all the legs of a grasshopper are removed, it becomes deaf.
  He was right! Long-horned grasshoppers and crickets have ears in the knee-joints of their front legs.
  (Kiwicare does not advocate removal of grasshopper legs)
