    the correct term for a vegetable garden is olericulture

    Oleri is also connected to our word yellow but obfuscation will not excuse you from your assertion that you’ll provide evidence.

    Maybe, if you speak Latin. Where I live a vegetable garden is a potager, France.

    Incorrect, Olericulture is the branch of horticulture that deals with the growing of vegetables, it is not the term for a vegetable garden.
