I already have great statistics on how many Americans ARE growing
vegetables and/or herbs. SO NOW I need to know HOW MANY Americans
would LIKE to grow (or are interested in growing) vegetables or herbs,
but don’t grow them ... because of whatever reasons ... like lack of
knowledge or confidence (no green thumb, failed in the past, etc),
lack of land (ie; living in apartments, condos, high rises with little
or no space to garden), lack of time (ie; hectic schedule, dual
working/income families, etc.), short growing season, hate the mess
and hassle, etc. This statistic of how many WANT to grow vegetables
will help us sell a kitchen “smart garden” that enables anyone to grow
vegetables and herbs year round, in their kitchen.

Request for Question Clarification by darrel-ga on 11 Jun 2003 00:33 PDT

Hello deepforest--

I haven't been able to locate an official poll that has been taken on
this issue.

However, I can find a national expert who might be able to give an
estimate. Would this information suffice?

To answer your request for question clarification, I would need to
know that this expert actually possesses the info that I am requesting
here (how can you assure me of that?). And also, what will I be
charged for the expert's "answer"? Thanks!
