Panel 2: Person in a suit: "GLOBAL WARMING IS HAPPENING FASTER THAN EXPECTED. YOUR GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO FIND SPECIES THAT CAN THRIVE UNDER THE WORST POSSIBLE CONDITIONS." Garden owner: (thinking) "Well, you forget and then you gotta make up for lost time."

Panel 3: Person in a suit: "LOOK! THESE CARROTS ARE MOSTLY DEAD, BUT ONE OF THEM APPEARS TO HAVE SURVIVED GOING WITHOUT WATER FOR WEEKS, THEN SUDDENLY BEING INUNDATED." Garden owner: "WOW, LOOK AT THIS. HE’S TRYING TO GROW TOMATOES OUT OF LITERAL TRASH."
