If you have grown all those veg then you are already a proper
gardener. Any idiot can grow annuals and perennials but veg gardening
requires much more skill.
Forget the half acre, some of the best and most charming gardens are
contained in very small areas.
As for the names bit-they aren't really Latin or scientific and
sometimes not even botanical.
You can talk about Busy Lizzie if you want but I prefer the name
Impatiens because the former name means different things to different
people, particularly outside the UK.

Now go way and do your homework and report back on "Amorphophallus"
:-)

You mean Elephant Yam? AKA Amorphophallus paeoniifolius ? Of the Araceae
family I beleive. Not my sort of thing really
