Richard S. Westmoreland ⚙️: There are leaves, it's just that the first shoots get harvested before the rest of the plant fills out

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

the first time I saw someone post a picture of asparagus growing I straight up thought they were trolling

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!
