I could understand Mad Beechus, out in the forest (beech trees secrete a poison that kills other growth under their branches). But in Chuchi, the abode of Everybody Be Nice? Oh, I hear ominous foretelling!
Hmmm, better call in Hercule Endive, the renowned Belgian detective.
For the old-school Top Gear nerds in the audience, is you saw any of the shows the boys did after Top Gear and Grand Tour, you might remember a scene from “James May Our Man in Japan” where he plays Wassabi roulette at a sushi bar, and loses. I wonder if we’ll see the plant equivalent in future episodes?
I… kinda don’t think so as I’m completely unfamiliar with the Top Gear nerds you describe and I didn’t… err… steal from anyone on this aspect of the story. So far as I know this storyline is unique. Although Monsanto might disagree. *They* poison plants all the time.
You should look for it, either just that clip on youtube or the whole episode on Amazon. It’s pretty dang funny! I’m just waiting to see here how junior gets back at auntie for the itching powder. I suspect spiderwebs and undergarments may be involved.
Found a clip – start at 4:46. https://youtu.be/CyT8Z35GAaY
Obviously a very different setup, it just struck me as another funny way to make people suffer with plants. David the Good would approve!
According to some people, nommy sweet and crunchy carrots (which I could eat all day & twice on Sundays) are (Quote) “the ingrown toenails of the earth.” Carrots are Glyph ‘s Official Veggie Nemesis.
I’ll talk to my mom and give Mrs Teresa’s idea a try. Crispy baked broccoli and caldo verde saved two veg for us.

Yes. The perfect time to slip poison to your enemies is when their guard is down.

Plants should beware 2,4,5-Teatime.
Animals, too, considering co-products.

Tea time isn’t relaxing, when your hostess is Lucretia Borgia. Or the Brewster sisters (“Arsenic and Old Lace”).
Is this Mugwort’s School of Assassins, perhaps?

If your enemies use poison, you might want to know a little something about defense against it.
But, who in Churchi would use poisons?

The Prior Reverend retired. Perfectly natural causes. No poisons were checked for nor were involved. Lucky, lucky, Church of The Rising Star.

You aren’t cooking them right.
Sauté fresh sprouts in bacon grease with garlic and plenty of salt and pepper. Get them crispy around the edges.
Mmm. They’re wonderful! So wonderful my kids eat them.
