This is a picture of a Sunflower found at Charlie Buffones Garden.

 Today we went on a fie trip to Neighborhood Garden with Mr. Carroll our Environmental Science Teacher. There are not many vegetables I like to eat but I do like to have lettuce on my sandwiches and corn on the cobb with butter. The neatest  looking plant was the sunflower and it really does look like the sun. I remember my Uncle Jim eating sunflower see when I was little but I never really knew what a sunflower plant looked like.The pumpkins were neat and reminded me of Halloween when we would carve a face on the pumpkin and roast the see in the oven. I thought the eggplant was really weird looking. I picked an eggplantand brought it home to show my mother.  My mother loves to eat eggplant Parmesan. She is going to cook it for me. I also saw tomatoes,cabbage,peppers,and squash. seeing these plant in a garden was very different from seeing them in at Stop and Shop. I never realized how much time and attention it takes to grow these plants.I do not like tomatoes but I think I might try cabbage and squash. The cabbage looks a lot like lettuce and the squash is kind of neat looking and I know my parents eat it all the time. Butter nut squash is my Mom and Dads favorite vegetable. My first question is, which of these plants are vegetables and which ones are fruit? The second question is what is it that makes a vegetable a vegetable and a fruit a fruit.I My third question is were these plants already here when Columbus discovered America?
