Talk:Horticulture/Vegetables

So nice to see more contributors! However, we might need to come up with some guidelines on the main gateway. For example, an IP user just added a blank link to /tomatoes/ from this page, but there is already a [A_Wikimanual_of_Gardening_Volume_4/Tomato|chapter started in vol 4 on tomatoes] (will fix this now). -- (deprecated naming now)... the chapter is just ../Tomato

Just a personal note: I'm not one of those who insists tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. be referred to as "fruits" because I'm a stickler for "botanical correctness". Its more that growing and harvesting requirements for "fruits usually called vegetables" are going to be closer to those of other fruits, as opposed to how the same issues are addressed with vegetables harvested for stem, leaf or root (flowers, such as broccoli, represent a strange middle ground).

I'm actually just taking a break from planting right now (checking radar for storms), but I'll start something on the main talk when I get a chance. Johnny 16:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
