I want to tag an area of land which is used for growing various types of vegetables: tomatoes, lettuce, onions, potatoes, etc. I don't see it as landuse=allotments or landuse=orchard or landuse=farm, so what is it?

Thanks.

Are they being grown commercially or for private use?
If it was commercial I would say farm, otherwise it sounds like allotments to me.

What are your misgivings with using these tags?

It's a plot of private rural land which is not a full-scale farm, so it's not allotments, but landuse=farm seems too general. Landuse=horticulture would seem to be right, but I don't want to use non-standard tags.

I'd just go with farm then. A farm doesn't have to imply 200 acres of fields. There are plenty of small farms in cities for example.
