Yes, you can call a vegetable plot "a vegetable bed", and this is not uncommon.



bed Merriam-Webster




: a flat or level surface: such as a : a plot of ground prepared for
plants also : the plants grown in such a plot




as in:




  • “The gardener planted a bed of roses”

  • “The gardener planted a bed of flowers”

  • “The gardener planted a bed of vegetables”

  • "The gardener planted a bed of vegetables and ornamental flowers”


These are all correct, as bed means a plot of ground in which plants are growing.

    @Happy For this American, a "yard" is a piece of land attached to a house. Usually there's a "front yard" and a "backyard" located in front of and behind the house, respectively. The yard (especially the front yard) may feature a "lawn", which is an area of trimmed grass. A "garden" is an area that is specifically cultivated for flowers or vegetables.

    @Happy You can ask another question if you want clarity about that (or search the site; I'm pretty sure it's been discussed here before) but basically, "yard" is any land around a house, and "garden" is an intentionally planted/cultivated part of the yard, of any size.

    @Happy I wouldn't say plot and bed are necessarily the same thing. To me a bed is a smaller area entirely given over to cultivation. A footpath running through it wouldn't be part of a bed, and would likely split things into two beds. A plot can be larger, and could potentially include the footpaths. Also, a small field (e.g. 10x10 m) might be called a plot but wouldn't be called a bed. -- But all that might idiolect issues.

Yes, you can, at least in UK usage. The Royal Horticultural Society refer to "vegetable beds" in their campaign for school gardening, for example.



They're not completely synonymous as you'll see from this description of my own garden: I have several veg beds, one strawberry bed, and two herb beds. They're island beds separated by paths and together make up the vegetable plot. The examples I've linked (along with the more common "raised bed") demonstrate that phrases of this form are quite flexible

The etymology for the word 'bed' is fascinating. Basically, it means a bunch of layers that are able to be penetrated. Penetrated with what? For a sea bed or garden bed? Water and/or plants.

    My impression, right or wrong, is that 'bed' is used only for small plots.
    A large plot of a vegetable would be called a crop.
    For animals; chickens for example; if small, a chicken coop. If large, a chicken farm.

      Yes, you can, at least in UK usage. The Royal Horticultural Society refer to "vegetable beds" in their campaign for school gardening, for example.



      They're not completely synonymous as you'll see from this description of my own garden: I have several veg beds, one strawberry bed, and two herb beds. They're island beds separated by paths and together make up the vegetable plot. The examples I've linked (along with the more common "raised bed") demonstrate that phrases of this form are quite flexible

          The etymology for the word 'bed' is fascinating. Basically, it means a bunch of layers that are able to be penetrated. Penetrated with what? For a sea bed or garden bed? Water and/or plants. For a vascular bed? Blood. For the bed we sleep in? Us. We dig ourselves into the layers to sleep. Even for the verb 'to bed' someone, the metaphor seems to hold out.

              My impression, right or wrong, is that 'bed' is used only for small plots.
              A large plot of a vegetable would be called a crop.
              For animals; chickens for example; if small, a chicken coop. If large, a chicken farm.

                      ASUS Zenbook UX433/UX333 — Configure Touchpad-embedded numpad on Linux

                      Image
                      0 1 I have an ASUS Zenbook UX433,on which ASUS decided to innovate by embedding a Numpad inside the touchpad (see picture 1). Toggling between classic touchpad mode and numpad (also turns the touchpad LEDs on) can be done through the golden button in the top-right corner of the touchpad. However, on my Manjaro arch Linux config, this behavior does not work by default and I can only use the touchpad, no numpad. Has anyone been able to configure the numpad to work on Linux, or have any idea how this could be achieved? EDIT1: I have had a look at the official Windows drivers for the UX433FA TouchPad, but was not able to make anything of it. I tried installing them on Linux using tools like NDISWrapper, but they do not detect the TouchPad/Numpad hardware, and my understanding of drivers is too limited. ...
