Trusted owner of Garfield the Cat, Jon is an avid cook (mostly of Garfield's favorite dish, lasagna), and in the episode
Green Thumbs Down, John decides that "groceries are too expensive" and decides to grow his own food, like he did as a child on his parents' farm. However, his plan is foiled when animals begin to invade the garden. Despite his best efforts, Jon's garden is ruined when Odie and Garfield, in an attempt to flush a troublesome gopher out of the yard, manage to flood the patch. Of course, he winds up spending
more on the seedlings than he would have on actual groceries - but the underlying message was there, right?
