5 Garden Facts 🥒 A single fruit from a zucchini plant is actually called a zuchina. It’s not a zucchini unless there’s multiple fruits. 🧄 The city of Chicago is named after garlic! The Native American word “shikaakwa” is translated as “garlic” and French Traders started calling the area “Chikago” and it stuck. 🧅 Egyptians saw onions as a symbol of eternal life, and filled their mummies with them. They also paid pyramid workers in onions. 🍅 supreme Court labeled tomatoes as a vegetable, even though they knew it wasn’t a vegetable. However, in order to collect tax on tariffs, they decided to label it vegetable so they could make more money. 🌽 The second you pull sweetcorn off the stalk it begins converting sugar into starch. That’s why sweet corn right off the farm is so much better than from the store. #sweetcorn #corn #tomato #garlic #chicago #onions #egypt #history #wow #funfact #funfacts #fact #educational #tip #food #garden #gardening #homestead #zucchini #plants #farm #fa...
