5 comic characters who would be great gardeners

Happy 50th birthday, Poison Ivy.

If you ever need a reason to not eat vegetables, how about doing it out of respect for plant-based comic characters like Poison Ivy, Swamp Thing and Man-Thing?

While these characters may not be household names like cucumbers, tomatoes or lettuce, their shelf life has been exceptionally long: Poison Ivy is half a century old, while both “Things” are 45.
