It would be hilarious if they kept going on throughout the season, but I doubt they'd go to that much trouble.

It would be pretty funny. Also, isn't it awesome to see an example of EP magic? Fast growing plants in only thin soil?

Are we sure that wasn't just the power of song?

@ Mio
Even if she was singing at the time, it still worked.
@ Syd
True. But, they need the Pegasi for the weather, and the Unicorns for day and night. So they've all got each other over a barrel.

Mio: it's possible, but very little of the stuff they're shown doing in the song is symbolic or exaggerated, so I'm inclined to take this specific instance literally.

The way I see it, it seems that Earth Ponies can rapidly grow seeds in to mature plants, but without proper care and maintenance they wither, spoil, and die quickly.
I imagine this makes seed stockpiles pretty important to Earth Ponies.

That's how I always saw it too. They can rapid grow plants almost anywhere, but once it is grown it must be tended too in a more mundane manner. That includes water and sunlight.
I like to think though that thanks to EP magic, the crops can make produce all year round.
