¿”Crecer” o cultivar verduras? – Spanish For America

¿”Crecer” o cultivar verduras?

Recientemente viajé con mi esposa a los cayos de Florida para pasar allí el fin de semana y, en el trayecto, visitamos a una familia que conocimos y que vive en Homestead. El jefe de la familia, tras saludarnos, nos dijo que él siempre trata de evitar el supermercado, que no compra allí sus verduras sino que prefiere crecerlas él mismo en su propio huerto, en la parte trasera de la casa.

Por supuesto que aplaudimos el esfuerzo que nuestro visitado realiza en producir sus propias plantas comestibles, pero no en su uso del español, ya que claramente emplea el verbo “crecer” en lugar del verbo “cultivar”, por la indebida influencia del inglés (to grow up vegetables). En español, lo correcto es decir que las verduras se “cultivan”, no se “crecen”.
