Ian Coldwater 📦💥: the first time I saw someone post a picture of asparagus growing I straight up thought they were trolling

Farm workers are important and deserve rights and protections, and also am I the only city kid who thinks this picture looks like somebody randomly put some watermelons down in a field

Nothing says #July4 like a juicy slice of watermelon. This delicious fruit doesn't just appear on our picnic table. It takes a lot of work. An average watermelon weighs 20 lbs. It's 100+ degrees in Bakersfield today. Can you imagine harvesting them in high temps? #WeFeedYou

wait until you see Brussels sprouts, it's like a huge joke

How did you think they grew?

maybe with leaves or in bunches or something? idk, not like that

It feels like they should grow like celery does

There are leaves, it's just that the first shoots get harvested before the rest of the plant fills out

oh, that makes sense! TIL

Like horse shoe ferns which start out really short and curly

neat!

asparagus is super hard to grow, and the very few you get are SUPER worth it. The massive fat-ass ones from the store are sorta "ok-ish" but nothing likt that soft buttery delicate ones.

Not like fucking grass!

Yeah! It's all they are is kind of tastier grass! (I grew up one town over from Hadley, MA, the asparagus capital of the world)

Did that town smell

Yeah, but mostly just like farms. When we played them in American Legion baseball, their field literally was like the Field of Dreams field with just corn out in the outfield.

The way pineapples grow also looks fake as hell

Have you seen this report on Swiss family spaghetti farming that was aired on a very serious news show back in the 1950s? youtu.be/8scpGwbvxvI

1957: The SPAGHETTI HARVEST | Panorama | Classic BBC clips | BBC Archiveyoutu.be Panorama reports from Switzerland, where the combination of a mild winter and the virtual disappearance of pests like the spaghetti weevil, has resulted in a bumper spaghetti crop. This clip is believed to be one of the first televised April Fools pranks - the original fake news, if you will. The narrator of the film is the highly respected journalist Richard Dimbleby. Back in 1957, some viewers failed to see the funny side and criticised the BBC for airing the spoof news item on what is supposed to be a serious factual programme. Others, however, were so intrigued that they wrote in to the BBC asking where they could purchase their very own spaghetti bush. Originally broadcast 1 April, 1957.
