Hyacinths also have a foul mouth.

What’s even worse is Hyacinths with halitosis.

The rabbits will put an end to all that arguing in no time!!! They’re coming for the tomatoes!!!

I thought Whittier was the guy who sang “The Last Farewell”…

It’s Saadi, not Whittier.

The Hyacinths are just Keeping Up Appearances.

The British will get this one ;-))

Battling plants

Hyacinths are a spring flower and have died back by the time tomatoes come on.

“yeah, you guys don’t cut the mustard”

The Wikipedia article on hyacinths says that the bulbs are toxic, because they contain oxalic acid. Oxalic acid can also be found in spinach, beets and navy beans, so we should probably avoid them as well. Eating rhubarb, raspberries, dates and potatoes has never done me any harm, even though there’s oxalic acid in those as well, but maybe we should just avoid food, just to be on the safe side.

oooh hyacinth with an attitude , interesting for a flower .

Good morning Crew!

Ya gotta keep them happy. When you walk by them, you wave and say “hi acinths”.

Don’t blame ‘em. I don’t take bullarky from tomatoes, either…

I hafta think that Cheech & Chong appreciate this comic strip above most others.

Love how the tomatoes are lasting on top of green stuff with cut stems. Hmm

Sounds more like ‘sour grapes’ to me.

…Mmmm…

Bacon!

I’m sorry, but I just can’t think of a big greasy bacon sandwich being a bad thing. Mmmm, bacon.

They also bloom in January and February so likely never met a tomato.

mmmmmmmmm…big greasy bacon sandwich with sliced tomatoes….

Some years ago my sister in law introduced me to putting tomato slices in grilled cheese, adding bacon to that would be ever so nice!

My Mom always loved that poem.

Hyacinths know their worth.

A bacon sandwich sounds really good right now.

Can’t we all just get along? Whoops—apparently not.

Good comic value here at least, though.

’Evening, Crew.
