Veg Rarney

Once you are friends

You remind me of my old friend Jack. He was a chirpy and crafty character. Always had an eye for the ladies. Tried to impress this bird once. Problem was, he couldn't fly like the bird could.

Every time I make pancakes, I think of him.

Once they like you

Freyl really does love her veggies plump. Unfortunately, most of our giant growers are inedible, so we just leave them as decoration to show off our prowess.

Reminds me of my old Blake. He was always disturbed by what went on in some gardens, and he would get flustered with anything too big.

As young fellas running around with the village girls, we would often get into scrapes with him and end up hiding inside the big pumpkins.

He died when he hid inside a huge turnip waiting for us, but got stuck. He could have eaten his way out, but he didn't like turnips. Stubbornness is the knife on which we cut our own fingers.

Asking for help

Are we best mates now? Can you help a fella get a better chance against his richer rivals? Well, have you seen that locked door at the top of my garden? There are a bunch of ancient shoemakers stuck in there. Ha! That's just a load of old cobblers! Haha! It's actually where I store my tools - rusted load of rubbish. If you could get your hands on a lovely top-notch sickle, maybe a great quality copper one, then I might have more of a chance. 4 stars or higher will do. There's a good pal.

When it is done

Cor! That's a beauty. I can see my face in it. Sort of moon-shaped. You are a true pal. I might be able to match those rich buggers for quality now!
