What's most noteworthy of her whole comment is the "I don’t know," part. She's sounded off on many topics adding the caveat of not fully knowing or not being an expert... umm, I take her at her word. Leave me alone re. what I grow in and consume from my garden......

I'm not sure what she's talking about or if yucca can be grown in the Bronx but maybe quotas of yuccas could be required of community gardens as a Green New Deal mandate. This falls short of making my list of Democratic Presidential Candidate virtues....
