So, we took a graduate student from Nepal to eat Bar B Que. His choice...never had it...he loved it.

Conversation came to gardening. 80 year old friend and I spoke of planting potatoes and veggies to come.

Student said: But you don't eat them do you?

"Yes of course, we said." "Don't you grow vegetables to eat?"

"Oh Yes", he said. "My parents always have a garden by the house for food. But I thought American's only grew plants to look at."
