  • Riddle me this

    OK, when I was at school we were always taught that plants need water, light and air to survive.
    However, when digging (sometimes quite deeply)I am often bemused to find whole green plants just sitting there, bold as you like, particularly dandelions and thistles. How on earth (or IN earth) did they get to green up ?

    ..sorry !...no idea...tis really weird now I come to think about it!

      These plants have chunky stores of "food" and use them to build leaves as they push up through the soil in search of light . . . they either find light before they exhaust their reserves or die trying . . .
