End of Wall-E, were the field of plants there the whole time.

At the very end of Wall-E, before the credits, the camera pans up and reveals a field full of plants. **Were these plants there the entire time** and EVE didn't scan that area, **or are we panning into the future** as we had just left the captain telling the crew about farming.

The plants' seeds were already in the ground and growing during the early events on Earth that we saw, but they hadn't sprouted yet. WALL-E finds the early growing plant in the fridge because it's sheltered from the constant sandstorms there. The other plants, being exposed, have a harder time growing, so they didn't surface until after WALL-E and EVE had left for the Axiom.
