Fruit & Veg Astronomy.

[Suzy]

I love this analagy! :D
Great for kids too! :thumbsup:

When I go food shopping next I don't think I'll be looking at fruit & veg the same way again, too busy doing the comparison of the watermelon to the peppercorn etc. :lol:

doh, I mis-read that - good spotting!
Edited to suit. :P

Let's see.. about 20 little cherry ones per punnet divided by 1000000 = 50,000 punnets of cherry tomatoes. :scared2:

Find me a farmer that grow a Pumpkin that big! :lol: I think the sun would need to be the fridge that all the food goes into to.:question:

Hi Suzy

I just got some seeds for the "Atlantic giant" pumpkin, I'm going to have a go at one for the Collector Pumpkin festival.

They are supposed to grow to around 300kg.

I don't what I'll do with afterwards, maybe 10,000 pumpkin scones.:lol:
