Blueberry had a close friend who absolutely adored gardening and wouldn’t stop giving him tips and tricks when it comes to growing fruit and vegies, especially carrots! It was his 'specialty' In his exact words “The carrot is such a beautiful joy to grow, yet such a tricky thing to master!” In blueberry's mind, it was all the same, dig a hole it the ground and drop a seed in, but he couldn’t tell a ‘professional Gardner’ that. He didn’t mind carrots either, so when you told him about this whole garden thing, carrots were the first thing that came into his mind. “Joy to grow… tricky to master…” He kept repeating, not sure if he should be worried. “Ok here we go, my first garden! Let’s go blueberry! You can do this!” He reassured himself, pouring some seeds into his palm. Plopping them in he buried each seed with a generous dose of soil. This wasn’t so hard! He’d have carrots in no time! After a sprinkle of water, he walked inside his house, watching them from out his kitchen window. “Now what?” He mumbled. The next day he headed back out to his garden, to see a bed of soil. “This was boring!” He grunted collapsing into his armchair. Out of the corner of his eye, Blueberry noticed an energy drink sitting on the bench. Walking up to it, he flipped the bottle around to examine the ingredients. “These carrots could use a bit of energy to speed up to the growing process…” He thought “Not to mention the sugar would make it heaps sweeter! Everybody loves a nice, sweet potato!" So he headed out, spaying the energy drink all over the lump of dirt. "That should do the trick!" Blueberry dusted his hands, standing back to take in a proud moment of the initiative. Blueberry checked on his carrots regularly and noticed some brown bits starting to sprout. "Ahh, that energy drink is finally kicking in!" He smiled. "Couldn't hurt for a sprinkle more!" And a sprinkle he did... of a whole bottle! The next morning he heard a loud scream from his backyard. Alarmed he lept from his bed and rushed outside to see what was wrong. It was his friend, 'the gardening professional' who was a total wreck, kneeling down and crying beside his carrots... or what will be carrots. "WHAT'S WRONG!?" He cried. "Please- don't tell me- you put ENERGY DRINK on your carrots!" Blueberry understood perfectly. "Well guess what, I did! And it is my secret touch- you cant copy!" His friend was obviously jealous of his brilliant idea! "No... no, no..." His friend muttered, rolling his eyes, which were still flooded with tears. "You killed the carrots!" He moaned, the tears streaming down his cheeks. "Ohhh..." Blueberry looked down at what was supposed to be carrots. Now that you mentioned it, the tiny sprouts had changed to a sort of dark purple weed. "Heh... well, I guess you can't cry over dead carrots! Am I right?"
