Happy Youth Off-day today!!!!

I was reading this book, and in it it has this interesting page about plants.

How seeds get planted: Some plants spit their seeds into the wind. Others make seeds yummy enough for birds to eat, so they get pooped out on passing cars. Plants make way more seeds than they need, because they know that life is not perfect and all the seeds won't make it. Kind of smart, when you think about it.People used to do that too, - have 12 to 15 kids because they figured some would die, some would turn out rotten, and a couple would be hardworking, honest, farmers. Who knew how to plant seeds.

What seeds need to germinate: Seeds are inefficient. If the seed is planted too deep, it doesn't warm up at the right time. Plant it too close to the surface and a crow eats it. Too much rain and the seeds mould. Not enough rain and it never gets started. Even if it doesnt manage to sprout, it can be choked by weeds, rooted up by a dog, mashed by a soccer ball, or asphyxiated by car exhaust.

(It's amazing anything survives.)

Lol funny huh???
