Those who doubted The Horse must bow to my horticultural greatness!

On or about May 15 2016, I was arrested for plant abuse. I told the judge that I took full responsibility for my actions, and that I would fully restore the plant I had abused. She let me out after only one night in jail. Today, a month later, I worked at the preschool where I had transplanted the abused sunflower and its twin brother several weeks ago. I present as Exhibit 1 the two sunflower plants as of today. I sit before the jury with my head held high. The jury is my MyLot peers. What is my sentence?

Those Sunflowers are essential to the ecology of our planet. They are home and sustenance to a variety of insect life, which in turn forms part of the food cycle. Furthermore, they p!ay an important life in respect of the global weather pattern, as all plant life does. The disruption of our environment is a serious crime and you should be referred to an International Court for sentencing.

Given the importance of those two plants, I have nominated myself for the Nobel Peas Prize.

@TheHorse Which reminds me of the wreath my students and I made for the classroom door when I was teaching. It was made of a satellite photo of the earth, with the label from a can of Green Giant peas on top.

@ElizabethWallace Was a blender included, so we can finally have whirled peas?

They will survive. My legs and the plants. Just wait until I post a picture of the four corn plants that started on my balcony.

there are seeds of doubt about your conviction - the evidence was planted - let's hope they let you work in the prison gardening detail - the flowers look happy enough

California, here I come Right back where I started from Where bowers are flowers bloom in the spring Each morning at dawning Birdies sing and everything A sun kissed miss said "Don't be late!" That's why I can hardly wait, Open up that Golden Gate! California, here I come! It's a pretty long sentence, but you can handle it.

Woo hoo! And here were are. Is that one of our famous poppies, with some blue friends in the background?

@TheHorse Yes it is, California Golden Poppy with wild blue lupine. I once planted 1/3 of my 1/2 acre with a mix of California wildflower seeds. So did the neighbors on either side of my property. We should all do this more often, or we will forget how wonderful they are.

Life is good. Do I post my incredible corn pictures here? Or save them for another post? I have some very proud 3- to 5-year-old co-farmers.

Not guilty, I see you restored the health of your plants, so you do not deserve to be punished.

I hope they get big enough to produce seeds. If they get really big, we'll bake some of the seeds in salt and butter.

I checked on my illegal corm plants at Kaiser today (eye doctor appointment). There are two and both are thriving, though they're only about a foot tall. I hid them behind some roma tomato plants. Buwaahaahaa.

Those are hardy plants to have survived all that abuse. I suppose you'll get off with time served and six months probation.

I will sentence you of life imprisonment for planting only few of them. You should plant more to be acquitted.
