1) The giant hogweed can grow as high as 5 metres. It has leaves of about 1 metre long. The plant is not a tree but a simple weed,¹ which grows very easily in the places where you don't want it to grow. Anyhow, it grows taller than some trees. The plant belongs to the parsley family, but it's very dangerous.

2) Every year in a small Spanish town you can see people who throw tomatoes at each other. This funny festival is called Tomatina. Anybody can take part in this festival if they use tomatoes only (not cucumbers or carrots).

3) In Columbia Road, London, there is a place where people go if they love flowers and other plants. A lot of sellers grow their own plants, but some sell exotic plants from around the world. You can even buy a banana tree there. And it smells pleasant.

4) The Dead Sea² is not a sea at all, but a salty lake. The water in it is 9 times saltier than in the ocean. It's so salty that there is no life in the Dead Sea. Neither fish nor plants can live in it. Scientists think that the Dead Sea is 3 million years old.

5) Before Christopher Columbus, Europe didn't know the taste of potatoes, tomatoes, avocados, chocolate, pumpkins, any types of beans and other plants which originally grew only in America. When potatoes first appeared in Europe, people were skeptical and ate only the leaves which made them sick.
