[Talk-GB] beetroot or beet

[Warin]

:)

Ok...

beets are vegetables.. (I hope). I do like an organised tagging scheme, so I am using produce=vegetable, then vegetable=*

This have two effects;

a better organisation structure and

the possibility to tag a field as produce=vegetable without specifying the vegetable.

It also places the issue of beet/beetroot/sugar-beet at a lower level.

I think the use of the abbreviation beet should be discouraged at that level.

I encourage doing the same for other produce ..e.g. nuts ... grains?

The present landuse=orchard has fruits so I'm not doing those as it presently uses its own scheme.
