Bananas, by the way, don't grow on any of these. Often mistaken for growing on trees, they actually grow on large herbaceous plants. I decided to remove plants, shrubs, bushes and stalks from the quiz as there is too much overlap. So unfortunately no pineapples or brussels sprouts either which are both fun answers. And no berries, which mostly grow on bushes.

Haha! Very cool quiz. Interesting subject and very cute and funny drawings.

You could also add that nominations don't grow on trees, but do very well on overtired's quizzes. ;-)

Doesn't have to be on the ground. You can grow them on a trellis like grapes. Problem is they get very heavy… though you can use hammocks!

It's also about growing celery, and in his immortal words:

"Straight out of the ground" isn't really accurate for broccoli. Broccoli (the vegetable) is the top part of the plant, nowhere near the ground.

"Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family whose large flowering head, stalk and small associated leaves are eaten as a vegetable." First line from wikipedia.

Glad you pointed this out. Raised peanuts for a few years, so I know they grow underground, contrary to popular belief that they grow in packages and tin cans!

Where I come from, celery root is used more often than leaves. So it grows under the ground too.

Wonder where that is. Celery generally refers to the stems here. There's a related plant called celeriac where the root is eaten.

The same is true where I live (Germany) and I know it is also the case in many Slavic languages. A rough translation would be "perennial celery" for celery and "tuberous celery" for celeriac. Until I did this quiz I didn't realise there are two different words in English. Interesting.

It was also a trick question for me, because in French both celery and celeriac are usually called céleri (although we can say céleri-rave for celeriac if we want to be specific). I learnt a new English word today...

Man, I never knew tomato was considered a vine. I had some plants in my house and my degree should have taught me that. Crazy. I can see why they are considered vines but I never thought about it. They can grow pretty vertical even without support.

It's also common for supermarkets to sell "Tomatoes on the Vine" (at least in the UK) so I thought people might know it from there.

The fact that you're from the UK convinces me that you've used "Beet" in this quiz instead of "Beetroot" just to make the question harder o.O

Geeky/nerdy correction: Peanuts are technically legumes, not nuts. Though looking it up, legumes, which are also called pulse when dried, include beans, peas, soybeans and others, and those all grow above ground as far as I know.

Few common nuts are genuinely nuts in botanical sense. They're still culinary nuts though.

@Sputnix They are also known as "groundnuts" in English!

Beet.....you need to specify beetroot as in many countries we have SilverBEET which is a legume and I wrongly assumed that that was the question. Please change the question to Beetroot.

Unrelated to the point you are making, silverbeet, more commonly called chard or swiss chard in many places, is a leafy green - definitely not a legume.

I enjoy The Office as much as the next guy, but as a vegetable farmer I have to roll my eyes that the only frame of reference many people seem to have for beets is Dwight Schrute. I may be wrong, but I imagine most of the folks who make that trite joke never actually eat beets. Beets are delicious and as nutritious as any "superfood" (which is a dumb, simple-minded marketing term).

You might want to change the asparagus one. The only thing I ever learned about it is that they needed to be under the soil. Always thought it a fun factoid

"To cultivate white asparagus, the shoots are covered with soil as they grow, i.e. earthed up; without exposure to sunlight, no photosynthesis starts, and the shoots remain white"

"De witte zijn onder de grond gegroeid en uit het licht gehouden, de groene en paarse asperges hebben wel zon gezien. In Noordwest-Europa zijn witte het meest gebruikelijk"

Translation: The white ones are grown under the ground/soil and kept out of the light, the green and purple asparagus did see the sun. In North-west_Europe white ones are the most common.

I only ever heard of asparagus under the soil, not surprised about different colours but would not have thought of a different way of growing. It was huge when I grew up, a summer job for a lot of teenagers, working on an asparagus farm. So when this one came up I thought ha I know this one
