2 weeks ago I traveled an hour south to look at a used car for sale. While my SO drove the car to make sure it was mechanically sound, I stayed behind with the owner, a 25+ something and her mother. I noticed that on their small hillside property they had a growth of corn - nothing in rows but more a few kernels were scattered and grew in a 10x10 area. The crop was obviously underwatered and when they mentioned that the kernels seemed puny, I explained how the corn should be planted for best pollination and that each tassle pollinated a separate kernel. The mother, obviously impressed, beamed as she asked me, "Wow! Are you from the midwest?"
"No ma'am, I'm just a gardener..."
