I love giant vegetables! I always wanted to grow them but I don't know how. I had a sunflower house once. ^_^

A sunflower house sounds fun I think with giant vegetables u need a big space so the plants hav room, LOTS of water, nigh nitrogen feed and luck

We grew a circle of sunflowers and sat inside them. My garden isn't big enough for any giant veggies though.

That sounds fun I want a sunflower house My garden is pretty much devoted to flowers so I grow my vegetables in an ex goose bath filled with compost seems to be working a treat

find some radioactive toxic waste. I've always wanted to own a mutant venus flytrap.
to keep the neighborhood kids out of my yard, of course.

This probably sounds dumb, but are venus fly traps real? If they are, how similar are they to Pirahnas in Mario games?

Yeah, they're real, but they don't really eat people. They do what their name suggests: eat bugs. (although plants are known to eat birds too...)

Do they move a lot?

Not really. They're actually pretty idle. I think the snapping motion's triggered by a nerve between the jaws or something.
There's also a plant that has a hole in the middle of its leaf that literally sucks in spiders and birds.

Ooo that's creepy. I'd like to have plants that moved. If I put my finger in the VFT's mouth would it hurt do you think?

I don't know, never tried it. I think if you left your hand in there too long, yeah, it will try to digest you, which I don't imagine to be pleasant.

A flower can actually eat you?

I'm not saying it can, but i think it could try, which would suck (quite literally)
