In searching the web, I have concluded that it comes in two flavors: almost funny and mildly humorous. There is also lots of repetition, cross-linking, and way too many sites that are no longer active, though the ones I found are 99% in very good taste, at least. So, I have done a bit of the ‘dirty work’ or the ‘digging’ for you. (Heh heh.)
One of the larger repositories of quips and quotes is the Garden Digest. At the center of the long scroll-down page of ‘jokes’ is a table with monthly gardening chores…do not be fooled…this is for where they live, Zone 9 in California. Otherwise, there are some good ones embedded here.
The next one is actually a list of humorous short articles, http://home.golden.net/ ~dhobson/ and several other ‘humor’ sites link to this one. It also has a table of many links, some of which could be interesting.
Probably the best find turned out to be a column that is published in several places, and the ones I read were enjoyable. This is not a list of jokes or stories, rather, pieces with a humorous slant and interesting observations about gardening, food, and foibles. In a piece about ‘locavores’, the author describes the ‘100-inch diet’ (rather than the 100-mile diet) and has many excellent exceptions: http://www.rakishwit.com/ is the starting point, and the particular article will be easily seen.
I plan to go back and read several more. The tagline is, The award-winning garden-variety humor column by John Hershey, "America's least knowledgeable gardening expert." So, Mr. John Hershey, you are my new go-to, humble, so-called non-expert.
