My friend... carrots and potatoes are TUBERS.
all plants need fertilization if you want them to grow strong or the floor is poor in nutrients.
For that reason, the artichoke, the Cauliflower, the zucchini... are they fruits too?
Depends on the country and the low my friend. in some countries, it's with veggy taxes in others like fruit and in others in a special list of veggies that are not green.
Is cucumber a fruit? then why watermelon is from the same family?
