Well, at least this movie is more plausible then the the ridiculous 'Gardening' (also found on this site). A family decided to grow it's oen garden because of food rations, and just about grows everything under the sun (literally). Tomatoes! Watermelon! Corn! Collard Greens! Who on earth grows collard greens? Anyways, at least this is more indepth about how to plant these and the care it takes to cultivate these. It also shows us the many, many pests that can harm these and shows us how to deal with them (no bug stamping this time!) Very interesting.
