Today's Chain, Game #512's answer is…

Spangram: Vegetable Garden
Two notable things about today's word search. First, I don't think I've ever seen so many five-letter non-game words lurking on the grid. Secondly, back to the huge long-chain ball room.
The 15-letter yellow snake that exposed the vegetable garden didn't make the game easier today, which is usually what happens when we have a long spangram. In fact, despite what we are looking for, it is satisfyingly tricky.
Growing up is easy to spot, but the lack of patience and abundant non-game word harvest makes me tend to remind. The same lack of patience may be why I like the idea of having a vegetarian garden, but my talent is to kill plants rather than planting them.
