Every time I dig for Shepherd’s purse, I have to walk so far. My back and legs are killing me. You should be grateful you have anything to eat. And you’re still being picky. Come on. By all reason, you should be growing in my yard. Hey, how come this thing doesn’t have any seeds? Are you blind? Isn’t this a seed? Where? Here. That’s way too small. If you put it in the soil, won’t it just get blown away? What do you know? This is called letting things go wild and loving freedom. Little rascal, I’ll cover you with mud. Let’s see where you can scatter to now. Huh? Where’s my shepherd’s purse? How come it’s all grass now? You really think I’m just a wild vegetable? If you just water randomly and don’t weed, I would have died early on. Then how should I plant it? Water sparingly, but frequently, eight or nine times a day. Weeding must be done purely by hand so you don’t damage our root systems. You darn wild vegetable. So much trouble. Then how do you grow in the wild? This shepherd’s purse is too hard to grow. It’s still easier to just go foraging in the wild. Huh? What’s going on? How come there’s no Shepherd’s purse in the wild either? The nearby shepherd’s purse has all been dug up. When on earth will don come back. Wacky farmer.
