This Is What It Sounds Like When Plants Cry.

Read the article this morning on another news outlet, but to be fair the authors themselves said that they don't think plants actually experience pain or are "crying" in any way. Sounds are made naturally by shifting that occurs, and this occurs more frequently when they are overly dry (or words to that effect).

The sounds they make are in a frequency that we can't hear at all.


So I guess the old philosophical question can be re-asked as follows: "If a tree screams in the forest but nobody hears it, did it really make a sound?"

My tomatoes are so wet this year that they are not happy. I can tell this by the way they look. I couldn't hear them crying.
