I see those little rubber wheels on the back there where the expiration date is stamped in. I always wondered. Jim

So that's how they grow those big bags of chips!

I thought they made them in the back of the store

Hey that is a prety good demonstration. last time I explain the planting of corn was when a friend of mine was planting the whole ear of corn in the ground. I had to show him that it was seed not an ear of corn.

Don't forget to plant some M&M' s they got peanuts in
them.

Bruce from Can. · May 10, 2016

That is the best ever !

Where is the picture of one of those folks from 'My 600 lb life' that's been eating those products and drinking soft drinks sweetened with corn syrup?

Several years ago, while boarding a plane a stewardess was explaining to a passenger that peanuts were not a nut at all, and that they actually grew in the ground! She must have felt that she was quite intelligent by revealing this.

You'll probably have to put a fence around that field to keep couch potatoes out.

35 years ago I was in high school, I had taken some photos of home to show my English teacher. One was a corn field with nice straight rows. She remarked about the straight rows, I explained that if you follow the planter mark with the tractor you can get them pretty straight, she said, "Oh, they use a machine to plant?"

Fellow told me the other day that he planted green beans in a small garden. His city neighbor lady asked what he was doing and she decided to try it. She dug up a small spot and planted. When he asked where she got her seed, she said she opened a can of green beans and put them in the ground.

I laugh when I see people selling "starts" on craigslist....including sweetcorn. $2 for a corn plant...I guess they sucker people into thinking the plant will just keep putting on ears LOL! A guy I know that is into exotic produce "started" 300 corn plants in his greenhouse and transplanted them last week. Always something for a good laugh with city kids!

Should put a can of soda ,cookies in their also. they might get a hint.

donjr · May 10, 2016

No. The climate here is too hot for spaghetti. But out ravioli and lasagne bushes do really good.....

onefarmer · May 10, 2016

No BWM the back of the store is where steaks come from. Where no animals are harmed.

BarnyardEngineering · May 10, 2016

That would explain why those Mary Jew Wanna plants seem to sprout up in the corners where the planter swings short and leaves a gap.

Brown Swiss · May 10, 2016

Well....... sort of, spaghetti squash. That was funny!

Brown Swiss · May 10, 2016

Man I don't watch TV so had to google what you were talking about, I was like WTF! One of the links headline says "Ashley struggles with everyday tasks" Ya think.

Traditional Farmer · May 10, 2016

Everyday tasks like eating 10 pizzas for lunch

We took my wife's best friend to a bbq place out in the country where there was a large field of sunflowers. She turned to me and asked
how the farmer got the flowers to point in one direction. So I began explaining the intricacies of placing the seeds on a strip of tape
all very carefully pointing in the same direction. ;7)

And I bet she believed it! LOL Did you explain the whole fence
thing for holding plants like green beans or climbing roses up?
That takes a lot of tape. And some awesome skills!

Not spaghetti Roy, but we do grow marshmallows.
They are subject to weather damage too.
