that's only at first. it part of the plant's life. eventually the plant will grow vegetables. Make sure there are insects and other similar plants to pollinate them,if not it may be necessary to manually pollinate the flowers by pressing one against another.

? ? ? Vegetables DO produce vegetables.

IF you are using seed that is old ( from last year or older ) chances are the seed is dead. Time to buy new seed.

If you planted and did not water at a critical stage, ( when it was germinating ) you may have killed it.

If the soil has motor oil or some other contaminant in it, it will kill the seed.

If you are saving your seed, and planting it again the next year, and they do not produce, then you originally bought genetically modified seed. They ( Monsanto ) put a gene into the seed telling it NOT to reproduce. This is what they have done to the farmer. Enticed them to use their seed, because it produces bigger ears of corn, or more wheat, etc . . . BUT, they have to buy new seed every year. This is how the seed companies are assured that they will keep selling seed.

Farmers used to set aside seed to plant the next year, but the GM seed is not fertile. Now they are trapped in a vicious circle. Sometimes technology is not so good.

why........Emily's family loves to work together in the garden. They have a slight preference for flowers, as 60, percent of their plants are flowers and 40, percent are vegetables. They have 50 plants growing in the garden.?

If you are asking how many of their plants are flowers and how many are vegetables I believe the answer is 30 flowers and 20 vegetables. 50 (total number of plants) * 60% (percentage that are flowers) = 30 flowers 50 (total number of plants) * 40% (percentage that are vegetables) = 20 vegetables
