I would like one of those bushes too. In fact, I am pretty certain that with minimal marketing you could soon be a millionaire 

It also produces chilled white wine and bottled beer when adults visit

Digger could you add your location to your profile please..................................then we can all visit this magic bush

Spagettie grows on pasta trees.  I saw it on TV ages ago.  Harvested mostly in Italy.

I used to work with pre-schoolers and one little girl told me banana's grow on the shelves at teso. 

I really want florence to know what is what on the plot, she can identify rhubarb, asparagus, strawberries and potatoes. She identifies runner beans as daddies hehe

[BobE]

Just to be fair, (I'm going to regret this!!!) Everybody keeps talking about a plant called PSB?  What is that? I thought it was a class A drug.

Purple Sprouting Broccoli

Bob its fine not knowing what PSB is i dont think i knew at one time but its when you grow it and dont know the name that we start to worry.

Well I was surprised to learn that courgettes also grow on cucumber plants! Unless our neighbour is ready to admit that wasn't a cuke he gave us

When our eldest granddaughter was little.  Brian asked her where milk came from.  She said ASDA.  then he said what about egg?  Yes, they come from ASDA too.  So he took her up the garden and luckily one chicken was about to lay an egg, so he held her hand under the hens rear end and the egg plopped into it.

At first she was mesmerized, but wouldn't eat it as it had come from a chickens b*m!  But afterwards, every time she came to visit, she had to go and collect the eggs!

Thats so sweet but it is shocking that children dont have a clue. We have taught florence that cow milk makes her sick as her oat milk is still milk and she calls it milk.  so now if she asks for a non safe food that has another allergen in we just say got cow milk in it. Eventually i will do each allergy group with her but at two its a bit complex.

You should hear the way she tries and says asparagus its too cute. She calls calabrese trees. I am rubbish at growing it but we have had some from other people so she will say "its Tony's trees for tea " cute but no-one else would understand what shes asking for. 

[GrannieAnnie]

Awww they are so sweet at that age BQ.

I am a teacher and until recently I taught Year 1 (5-6 year olds). Every yet I was shocked at how much worse children's knowledge of where their food came from was. There was one class who it took me quite a while to persuade them that chicken the animal and chicken the meat were the same thing...

[Beetroot queen]

On that subject of chicken. Our florence knows that really well, each more she helps feed them she say " yummy chicken, that one for din dins " i kid you not and we have never eaten one of our own.

That made me laugh, She will remember that all her life.
