To find the actual length of the row of vegetables, we can use the given scale. The scale states that 2 inches on the drawing represents 17 feet in reality.

First, we need to determine the conversion factor from inches to feet using the scale. We know that 2 inches represents 17 feet. So, we can set up a ratio:

2 inches / 17 feet

Now, we can use this ratio to find the length of the actual row of vegetables.

Given that the length on the drawing is 3 inches, we can set up the equation:

3 inches * (17 feet / 2 inches)

By multiplying the given length (3 inches) by the conversion factor (17 feet / 2 inches), we can cancel out the inches and calculate the actual length in feet.

Calculating this equation, we get:

3 inches * (17 feet / 2 inches) = 25.5 feet

Therefore, the actual length of the row of vegetables is 25.5 feet.
