Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
In this excerpt from an episode of How Does Your Garden Grow?, brief footage of an archer fish is shown, and then the scene promptly shifts to John Nash Ott's tool shed and home studio where Ott expresses his continued astonishment to guest Dr. Tilden Roberts that the archer fish spits water at its prey. The excerpt ends as Ott thanks Roberts for visiting, and voices his eager anticipation for whenever the doctor will make his next appearance on the show.; Ott and Roberts previously worked together on Wal Disney's Nature's Half Acre (1951) and Secrets of Life (1956). In both productions, Ott contributed time-lapse photography and Roberts served as a biologist consultant.; This excerpt's full episode also featured the topic of harvesting vegetables from the home garden.
