Or are we thinking backwards here, where the top of the image is actually below ground?

If not, maybe they should be called them skyfruits.

If it was below the ground, we’d most likely have seen the roots of the grass, not it’s blades…

True. It isn’t Ball Moss, which I think can attach from any part of its surface. Also, I never knew that Black Beans are actually called Black Turtle Beans.

It certainly makes them sound more precious…


Also, apparently, Black Beans and Black Turtle Beans are not the exact same thing…

And there is more than one type of “Black Bean”?!

With all the fund freezing going on in the U.S., it’s affecting my potential admissions in Universities! I am worried about whether or not I will get into anything now… :persevere:

I can tell that’s pretty Brain-Dead of those who have paused the funds.

Heh.
Yeah not looking forward to applying for stuff. It ain’t fun at all. I wish they’d at least take budget cleanup seriously and ax some SpaceX contracts and take Elons tax breaks but they aren’t even trying to pretend to do anything in a fair way that fulfills campaign promises or whatever.

The Universities I have applied to rejected mu application because they don’t have enough federal funding to take on graduate students… :disappointed_face: Sigh.

And many more find themselves in situation similar to yours… if not worse.

OMG…Some universities even had to close their deadlines for graduate applications way earlier than normal because Federal Grant freezes! And I was still working on one of the applications for a University that eventually did this! :expressionless_face:

Don’t worry! I’m sure you’ll succeed next time.
It took me a while to get accepted to my university, which I’ve been at for a few years now. So don’t give up!

How long was that “while” exactly?
