You may say “po-TAY-to” and I may say “poTAH-to”, but someone else might call it Solanum tuberosum. It can be easy to forget that the veggies we grow in our gardens are, first and foremost, plants. Plants can go under a variety of monikers and it’s helpful to understand where the various names come from and what they mean. This tool from kidsgardening.org is a great introduction to how we classify plants. View Resource »
