Now you will have to read the previous post in order
to understand the gist of this one
But I am happy to announce that I have received my first competition entry
Yes there is much misery in this world
Yes, we are not quite out of economic Armageddon
And yes global warming is about to flood us all off the planet
So what does Going Gently ask of its' readers?
Well
MAKE A NOVELTY ANIMAL OUT OF A VEGETABLE AND SEND IN A PHOTO OF IT!
Of course!
Hook nose from Jessie in Alaska
Baby clanger was sent in by Andi this morning

See previous blog for the details of the competition
All entries will be exhibited at the
Trelawnyd Flower Show
( locals will be expected to hand in their novelty veg in person btw as this is only
A fun competition for non locals)

Thanks. This is good fun
DeleteIt looks like a Moomontroll baby!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun
ReplyDeleteWe'll join in then
DeleteYou don't have to grow your own veg... Just what you have in the fridge will do
Can we use fruit as well?
ReplyDeleteI have submitted my entry...thanks John...that was fun.
DeleteAt least we now have a gold standard.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember those potato stamps? I could carve one with "John aka St Francis". Bit of ink. Et voila. Who needs a business card if you can have an arty farty blur on flimsy paper. Don't say anything. I know it won't abide by the rules of the competition. Or only through the backdoor.
Off to find a wilted pineapple,

I love baby clanger! I have sent my entry in!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Perhaps the GK's and I will troll our garden for an entry. They would love to know someone in Wales likes our odd Illinois veggies. But Baby Clanger might be hard to beat
ReplyDeletePlease do Donna x
DeleteOh I love it x
ReplyDeleteMaybe Esther Rantzen will preside as judge.
ReplyDeleteYou can't get out of it ray
DeleteYou can use ordinary veg from a supermarket
I've got a cucumber here. Now, let me see, what on earth shall I do with it?........
DeleteThese are brilliant. I would have thougjt that by now Tom would have sent in a rude one.
ReplyDeleteIs one allowed more than one entry?
ReplyDeleteWhat brilliant entries!
ReplyDeleteHave fun.
Fabulous entries so far…I don't think I can compete. But I will so enjoy seeing them all. What a great idea John. X
ReplyDeleteOh I think you could compete francis

ReplyDeleteThey're all brilliant. Love them. (Naughty Cro - making me blush)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. I wish I had something tastefully vulgar to share vegetable wise ;-)
ReplyDeleteFun - thank you and all the contributers.
ReplyDeleteExcellent stuff ~ photos which should make the headlines.
ReplyDeleteThese are just excellent!
ReplyDeleteI spent an hour trying to make a celery sunbather in a carrot Adirondack chair; finally gave up and ate the lot.
Jenny no
DeleteI want an entry from you
I thought the entries might have been quite basic, but they are really inventive. What clever and artistic readers you have. I am neither, so I won't even try.
ReplyDeleteAndrew...give it a go!
DeleteThose are so cute! What creative followers you have.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I am not surprised
DeleteUhhhhh, I love this! The hook-nose tomato is something and Claudette Courgette might have a date by the end of the night.
ReplyDeleteI had a tomato like that with a hook nose! Sadly it has been eaten!
ReplyDeleteVery good entries!
ReplyDeleteI'm still thinking.
Awesome! I love the small farm grown "oddities", so different from the mechanically harvested stuff in the supermarkets.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen the film The Gleaners and I? It's a beautiful meditation on our mechanized, homogenized consumption patterns.
My favourite film/documentary ever!!!
DeleteAwesome entries so far. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAs you noted, your followers are amazingly creative. I thought briefly about some onion slices I had as I piled them on a burger, but ate them instead.
ReplyDeleteYours, Mad as a Badger,
Mike
Without wishing to prick anyone else's entry balloon and their pride I just love the "fish" by Els. That is so simple, so stylish, so elegant - pure genius.
ReplyDeleteOther than that this minute I look and, more importantly, feel like the dishevelled and seemingly slightly bewildered "Claudette Courgette" by Simone.
U
The fish is gorgeous isn't it?
Deletesimple, stylish, elegant, genius........ Oh BotB, if only you could see me in person! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a fennel fish.
Love them & will stick my head in the fridge to be inspired.
ReplyDeleteI could watch those leeks performing for hours !
Love the Henry Moore at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
ReplyDeleteha ha we don't like tomatoes id take that picture down then lets talk about erecting a monument! MR! POTATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
