Big seed lie revealed!!!!!
I don’t know where to post this but it does have to do with tomatoes.
Last year I gave my brother a pile of seeds to start for me and for him to grow too. He told me that a bunch of seedlings had died and sort of told me or at least led me to believe that they were the ones I had given him. I never really got the whole story from him until tonight on the phone. You see when you lie you have to remember the thing and I guess he forgot. We were discussing seeds and tomatoes to grow and he started to look through his seeds to see what he had. He started off with the ones I gave him, ‘all of them. That’s when I asked him about all of the plants that died last year. Then I confronted him as to if he even planted any. He said no, ‘I could just see my beloved brother twisting in his chair as I started to turn the screws to get to the truth. Here’s how the conversation went. Don, “When do I need to start my tomato seeds”? Worth, “Now is the time”. Don, “I’m not going to waste my time with little tomatoes this year I’m just going to grow big ones. Worth, “What kind are you going to grow”? Don, “Big boys and some tomato called an, ‘I can’t think of the name of it”. Don, “An heirloom I think”. Worth, “There is no such thing as a tomato called an heirloom, it is a group of tomatoes that are---- well you guys know. Worth, “That’s what I gave you last year and they all died”. Don, “No they didn’t I never even planted them”. Worth, “What, you told me they died”. Don, “Well uh well uh I had too much to plant and I didn’t plant them”. Worth “That was my insurance for plants that Nancy might kill”. And so forth. My brother is spooked with anything other than the normal tomato that’s why he didn’t plant them. He totally afraid of change and you wouldn’t believe how many times I have tried to explain heirloom tomatoes to him, he just doesn’t get it. He’s planting them tonight bless his heart. Now I have to get him to eat a black or green one. I just love my brother. Worth |
