I like flowers and tomatoes π
E: and pumpkins. Frankly this comic is just to generate anger, all the men I know with green thumbs grew all kinds of healthy and fun plants that everyone enjoyed.
I wanted a house so I could grow the first three.
Am currently stuck in in law's house, with collapsing job market after being denied a mortgage for being too fat 3 months before the job market collapsed.
Denied a mortgage for being too fat...?
Yep. Based on age and mortgage length, and beurocracy they said I had to take out a life insurance policy which got denied due to health factors.
I believe it. My credit score had a knock against it because, and I quote: "Months since oldest auto trade opened".
I guess cyclists who outright own two cars (An old hatchback and an old truck) are a credit risk.
Sorry for the legalized discrimination you faced, that feels a lot more egregious than mine.
My dadβs credit score plummeted after he paid off the house π€·ββοΈ

You avoid growing plants because it's emasculating.
I avoid growing plants because I'm awful at it and it's cruel.
We are not the same
I dunno i just doubt this person exists to any great extent. All plants are great.
They do exist. They usually look like this, though:
So probably nobody on Lemmy.

My plants are tomatoes, bell peppers, basil, oregano, garlic and coffee (no serious hopes for a good harvest in my climate).
Am I still allowed to call myself a man?
No. Now go and sit down to pee (like any sane person)

If you have weed, hot peppers, and carnivorous plants, can I come over?
Normal plants are great too, but clearly you are a person of taste.

I genuinely regret all my cacti. I have like 8 Peruvian torches about a decade old from seed, and I like to put them outside in spring, so they donβt get all spindly and pathetic, and dear god are they heavy and dangerous to move now. They are like 4 foot (1.2m) tall or so, but can get up to 16 foot (5m).. whoops.
But I donβt want to kill them because, like.. Iβm proud of them for thriving with me.
If you have a botanical garden nearby, you could see if they'll adopt them. You could also check with any greenhouses.
Thatβs a great idea! Thereβs actually a couple places I can think of that might be interested.

My dad grew tomatoes, loufas, and those decorative gourdes you turn into bird houses.

I've gardened all my life and my favorite flowers are morning glories, please shove a cactus up your ass. Thank you.
I grow native plants and vegetables π€·ββοΈ

Sorry, I don't understand the rules, do we hate peppers now?
