vegetable gardens

Homegrown food plots

Vegetable gardens are plots of land cultivated for growing edible plants—tomatoes, peppers, beans, lettuce, and the like.

The term distinguishes food-producing gardens from ornamental flower gardens or lawns: We converted half the backyard into a vegetable garden.

They range from small raised beds to substantial plots that supply a household through the growing season.
