beg to differ on number 6 - http://www.morewords.com/starts-with/dw/

Very nice + thanks for the quiz.

#3 is incomplete. Consider peppers and celery

Interesting list but;

#3 While most common veggies are too domesticated to grow in the wild, there are other wild versions that can be eaten. Daucus carota (wild carrots) or wild radishes

#4 A strawberry is not a true berry or a true fruit. It's an aggregate accessory fruit.
