8. Now the fun part! Cut the vegetable off its stem while it's still inside the mold. Remove
all keys. Grasp the stem end of the mold in both hands and pull it apart. If the mold
does not easily come apart, simply insert a screwdriver between the halves and
gently pry them apart. If after pulling the mold apart your veggie is stuck in either half,
hold the side of the mold down while gently tugging on the vegetable's stem until it's
free.
9. Enjoy. Whether you slice and serve it, display it, or bestow it, your unique vegetable
creation will be a garden of delights for everyone who sees (and tastes) it. And it's just
the beginning. Because you can use your Vegiform mold again and again.
Garden Elf
A word about elves. Like the legendary elves of old, the Vegiform Garden Elf is very
special. It's the most versatile Vegiform — ideal for eggplant, pumpkin, globe squash,
melons, gourds and other fruits and vegetables. It's also designed to grow formed
veggies much larger than the mold itself. Magic you say? Perhaps. Read on to find out
how you can perform this trick.
1. Follow instructions 1-7 for the Heart and Corncob.
2. When your pumpkin, eggplant, melon, etc. has filled the Garden Elf mold, you now
have a delightful choice: you can either clip the veggie (as in step #8 above) and
enjoy, or you can simply remove the mold and leave your prize Garden Elf on the
vine. It will continue to grow in the form of the mold. Just imagine the sight of full-size
watermelons and pumpkins with delightful Garden Elf faces. Whether you grow them
large or small, you'll really enjoy gardening with this Vegiform favorite.
Pickle Pair
Ideal for cucumber, zucchini, yellow squash and other fruits and vegetables.
1. Fasten the mold halves securely with the fastening straps before placing on the plant.
2. Pick out a vigorously growing plant that "fits the mold". Not too big and not too small.
3. Place the mold over the vegetable.
4. Sit back and let nature take its course. But don't forget to water, shade, etc.
5. When the veggie has filled the mold, simply remove the straps and separate the
halves.
