Well, I didn't say "again" or "this time". It's pretty clear I
was trying to correct myself (but I'd go with bd's inclination).

I didn't get the tomato the first time.

You're trying to get me pierced by thorns TWICE?? Picking Slowly
is a different action than Picking, so it doesn't revert to the
other unless the rules say so.

I'll prop a change to the Picking mechanism: I think the thorns
should be probabilistic. The current system doesn't make sense:
Picking unSlowly is always equivalent to losing 8 points.
