Where do vegetables come from?
Q: Where do vegetables come from? I see other plants, like flowers and berries, growing wild, but I’ve never come across a vegetable “in the wild.”
A: Most vegetable plants can’t stand freezing temperatures, so that’s why you won’t see them “in the wild” around Atlanta. Vegetables in a grocery store are grown where it’s warm most of the year like south Georgia or the Central Valley of California. If you go to South America, you can find the forebears of squash, corn, tomatoes, and potatoes growing in the wild.
