I'm sorry your dad didn't have a longer life. Since I've been in the group, we've never had more than 10 25-point tasks. I'm pretty sure I won't finish them, but right now I want to do them all!
These are approved!
Sorry, these won't work.
- Can you tell if that's enough greens shown to count as vegetables in the bag?

Would some corn in a field work for Option 1?

Can you tell there is lettuce on a couple of the plates? It is difficult to see without enlarging the cover photo.
Or
as an alternative.

I'm going to allow them both, but not for your reason. The top book does look like it could be lettuce. But I'll allow the second book for the bean sprouts, which are on the wikipedia list.
is this clear enough to be lettuce/cabbage on the plate?
Well, I looked at the magnified cover on Amazon and I will say it looks like some kind of leafy vegetable. So, OK.

This is a two book task, choose 2 different options and read 1 book from each option. Children’s books (Childrens, Middle Grades, Juvenile, etc.) or sequential art (Graphic novels, Manga, Comics, etc.) may be used, as long as they fit standard SRC requirements.
State the options.
Option 1. Planting a garden or attending a farmers market means fresh food. I love fresh tomatoes, especially! Read a book with one or more vegetables on the cover. They can be actual photos or artwork, but no silhouettes.
For the purpose of this task a tomato is defined as a vegetable - the list of acceptable vegetables is: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis...
REQUIRED: Include the cover in your post.
Examples:
Option 2. I love when the tree leaves appear and flowers add color. Read a book whose title includes one of these common flower names intact: Rose, Gerbera, Sunflower, Marigold, Tulip, Daffodil, Daisy, Orchid, Carnation, Jasmine. Plurals and possessives are allowed.
Option 3. My dad’s career was white collar, but he was still that farm kid at heart. Gardening was his summer passion and I loved all the fresh produce and canned vegetables that resulted. Read a book first published during my father’s lifetime: 1927-1997.
Option 4. Read a book with a four-letter or more word in the title/subtitle that can be made from the phrase “SPRING HAS SPRUNG". Letters may only be used as often as they appear.
REQUIRED: State the word
