Trivia

 * In the syndicated version, the ending showing Gilligan eating soap and then blowing and popping a big air bubble is cut out.
 * It's unclear, despite the vegetable seeds being experimental, how the Professor ever expected the seeds to grow in an entirely sand based medium. Most vegetables will not grow in such soil conditions.
 * This episode is ranked as the #4 most liked episode, according to E!

Quotes

 * Gilligan - "I bet your father never grew anything on his farm." Mary Ann - "He did too!" Gilligan - "How could he? I wasn't there to do all of the work!"


 * Gilligan - "An officer? I'm too busy being the whole crew!!"


 * Mary Ann - "I can even see the people on the deck. There's a man in a red and white striped t-shirt, a man in a blue shirt and blue pants and two very beautiful women in bikinis." Skipper - "I wish I could see that!"


 * Mr. Howell - (watching Mrs. Howell speed over the island) "I may enter that woman in the Olympics!"
 * Skipper: "We're trying to signal that boat out there?" Gilligan: "What boat?" Skipper: "The boat out there." Gilligan: "I don't see any boat." Skipper: "Of course, you don't." Gilligan: "Do you?" Skipper: "No." Gilligan: "Professor, do you see the boat?" Professor: "Oh, I can't see it either." Gilligan: "But it's out there, right?" Skipper: "Look, Mary Ann saw the boat out there." Gilligan: "Can you see Mary Ann?" Skipper: "No. How can I see Mary Ann when she isn't even here?" Gilligan: "The same way you can see the boat."
