Isn't a tomato technically a fruit?
By botany, yes, but the kitchen and the grocery aisle treat it as a vegetable, so we've kept TOMATO here alongside the others. The same goes for pepper and cucumber.

Picture a vegetable patch in late summer: tomatoes ripening on the vine, an onion swelling underground, and a row of lettuce ready for the salad bowl. Twelve garden staples from that imaginary plot are hidden in the grid below, mixing root crops like CARROT, POTATO, and RADISH with leafy growers such as SPINACH and CABBAGE. Words travel in straight lines and slanting ones, and a few have been planted back-to-front to reward a careful second look. Drag from one corner of a word to the other to mark it on the board, or run off paper copies for a farm-to-table unit, a market-day craft table, or a quiet moment after dinner. Need a hint on the last stubborn crop? A finished grid is one tap away, and your guesses never leave the browser you're working in.

FAQ
Common questions
Is this an easy enough puzzle for younger gardeners?
Most words are short, common veggie names, which makes it friendly for early readers. For a gentler round, help them start with three-syllable words like BROCCOLI that stand out.
Can I tie this to a school garden project?
It works nicely as a warm-up or take-home sheet for a planting unit, since every hidden word is a crop students might actually sow and harvest.
