Publisher's blurb:
The Gardner Farm makes a direct reference to Lovecraft's short story "The Colour out of Space" :
We got wind of the news late yesterday. A farmer, Mr. Gardner, had just found a strange rock at the bottom of his garden. Something that had fallen from the sky and was still smoking, as he said. It was not far, a few kilometers away, and we went to have a look.
We were not the only ones, the whole village came to observe the thing. But in the end it was a bit disappointing. There was a very small crater, near the well, to testify of the event. But not a single stone !
What's more, it hadn't devastated anything. On the contrary, on several meters, the flora had become bigger. It was really obvious. I thought to myself, "Here's a lucky guy who could grow anything he wanted, without any effort!"
