There are some wacky gardening photos making their way around the web this month in forwarded emails. I'm sure many of you have seen them by now. The first time I received them, from a reader, I marveled, chuckled and decided against posting them on this blog, what with Newsday being a family newspaper and all. The second time I received this obviously widely circulated email, from a friend, it gave me pause.
Though I have no way of knowing whether the photos have been doctored, they are vegetables, which many of us grow in our own gardens. If a specimen such as those - uniquely and unmistakably shaped like unmentionable body parts, mostly -- would grow in our own vegetable patch, I don't think any of us would be offended. However, I wasn't able to obtain official permission to post them here.
For my own part, I can still be entertained by the photos readers have sent of their irregularly shaped fruits and veggies. They include this tomato, to which J.B. "couldn't resist adding a mouth and eye" ...
... the "Jimmy Durante schnozzola eggplant," grown by Jules Lewis of Coram, who took the liberty of adding a paper eye.
