This is a lovely photo of a home that has taken out the lawn to plant perennials. I found it on Better Homes & Gardens website. I look at this--but I see FOOD. What I mean is that I see a gorgeous front lawn that would be even more gorgeous were it converted to raising food instead of perennials. Don't get me wrong, I totally LOVE when people rip out most of their lawn in favor of a nice perennial bed. But my paradigm is shifting. Bye bye suburban lawn-hello FOOD.
What do you think?
You can follow me on Pinterest...I pin all sorts of cool things for the garden.
What do you say about this nice weather??
ReplyDeleteAgreed. A number of edible plants are quite ornamental. The top one I can say is Swiss Chard. Decided to plant over 80 lettuces, 28 Chard, 53 mustard, and a measly 8 broccoli plants in the front today. Not supposed to be freezing at night for a few days. TIme enough for me to build covering. More worried about wildlife.
