Wow that’s impressive for me, because if we don’t garden in schools, we aren’t likely to do it in our daily lives

Oh no. We do have our favorites, but we're "americans" now. Plenty of meat on the barbecue, and other stuff. 
It's really a basic garden for our area here. Most people I know do the same.

Wow, my wife would be overjoyed at your wide selection. Does your wife cook mainly Italian cuisine?

Do you grow your own crops?

Yes, but we only have fresh vegetables in the summer and fall because of our climate. We grow all kinds of herbs, cherry, plum, and beefsteak tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers and string beans.
