Hello! So clearly haven’t been the only one too see that lots of stories envolve garden invasion stories. These gardens remind me of those Victory Gardens that were the norm during WWII. I like to think that since fluffies have been released into the wild they caused quite the considerable damage to major agriculture farms. Because of that people at home in the cities respond by creating there own gardens to offset the damage caused by fluffles. So, yes, I would be mad as well if a technicolor pony biotoy ate my herbs I planted. Its quite the situation fluffies made.
Yeah i think this a very interesting and good udea. Personally I’d plant parsley in the vegetable garden mostly cuz if the is a mare or a soon-mummah it kinda controls tge population via aborting her foals. Another thing would be planting poison ivy around the more valuable parts of the garden as the oil on the leaves and toxins will irritate and rash the outside and insude of their bodies on top of poisoning them. Basically like a biological perimeter of barbwire that helps drain the soil too. Also Hydrangeas too which are colorful plants which will most likely attract the Fluffies attention due to their logic of pretty-looking/colorful = tasty. Fun fact, some species of Hydrangeas is used as a sweetener too. The effects of the toxin include nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea also skin contact can cause dermatitis, rash or irritation.
In addition you can be sneaky and plant rhubarb into you vegetable garden as a defense as well due to its leaves being very poisonous. Symptoms can include a burning sensation in the mouth, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, weakness and drowsiness. In addition, blood clotting may be impaired.
Foxglove can be another brightly colorful flower used to exterminate garden invading herds due, you guessed it, being highly toxic. But unlike the others i mentioned, this one is much more potent. Foxglove can cause irregular heart function and death. Signs of foxglove poisoning include stomach upset, small eye pupils, blurred vision, strong slow pulse, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, excessive urination, fatigue, muscle weakness and tremors, stupor, confusion, convulsions, abnormal heartbeats, and death. Also an unconventional plant to grow that helps get rid of garden invading herds (and is great for some meals) is chilli peppers. The more spicy it is, the more Capsaicin it has and the more Capsaicin it has, the more likely it will kill a fluffy with pure spice overdose. For this effect to occur, you could grow Carolina Reapers, Trinidad Scorpions, Ghost Chillis and Naga Vipers (which almost resemble strawberries in appearance). These spicy traps arent gonna kill a normal person ofc as it takes about 150lb of Carolina Reapers to kill a person BUT for a Dluffy it will take much much less especially when it is a shock to their system.
Sorry for that sort of infographic btw i get carried away with describing plants, animals and historical stuff sometimes.
Because of the shared humanity hatred of Fluffies, society was able to come together and work on bipartisan issues, finally combining the socialised workforce of affordable living with the traditional values of white picket fences and 2.4 children.
Back gardens became more popular since people finally had the time and money to enjoy them. Ironically though, these well-maintained gardens proved to be a siren call for ferals looking for land to claim as their own
(I pulled this out if my ass but I might make it canon to my universe)
Thank you i appreciate you like my small info comment …i didnt want to say things like pitfall traps or snares, snaptraps and stuff cuz that kind of defences at least imo do more harm than good in a garden. Mostly cuz you could accidentally snag or injure actual animals like burds, squirrels, etc or accidentally injure guests or children (if relatives, family members, etc visit) so i thought the best defences for a garden are natural ones which are hidden in plain sight and saves money on buying Hasbio traps like fake foals used to lure in mares or “babbeh enfers” or sketti bait traps that are like one-way mink traps. That way it either deterred invaders cuz of the plants they eat are foul or makes them sick…or kills them, either way stops garden invading fluffies/herds effectively
With all the pest control methods we have and the sheer scale of farms that we have today there’s no way you can convince me that fluffies could cause enough damage to crops to where people starve. I’d more likely believe someone stomping a fluffy to death for eating their hard work than because fluffies have caused massive food shortages
Now I just want to change my backyard into a vietnam jungle like course and just terrorize flufflies with traps and whispers from the grass. Gonna give flufflies vietnam like flashbacks if they make it through.
I love the idea of having visitors over for a BBQ with the kids. “Hold on there Timmy, let me just cover up all the punji pits, razor wire snares and oh yeah I gotta hide the Willy Pete or this burger ain’t the only thing that’s gonna cook today!”
In my headcanon the current “fad” in America was bringing back things like gardens. It happens all the time. I can certainly see a fictional millenial generation rebelling against their Gen X parents by taking care of their homes in a meticulous way with gardens and pristine white carpets…
it just so happens that white carpets and gardens don’t mix well with fluffies!
