It’s rediculous that we value grass more than groceries. We should applaud this couple on their ambition and success. This garden is actually a “feast to the eyes”. It is even more interesting and pleasant to see than a well groomed and landscaped yard. As life becomes more impersonal with the use of technology, and increased crime creating increased fears of personal safety, food gardens may very well help ease this discomfort and bridge some of those barriers. We all have to eat, but we don’t all have to compete for the most beautiful yard. It may very well be a means of others gaining the courage to give this idea a try and stimulate some self-worth for those who struggle with loneliness and low self-esteem.

This garden looks great!

It shouldn’t matter whether it has flowers or food or both. The only thing town authorities should care about is whether people maintain their yards.

Gardening in our front yards lets us meet our neighbours and helps to make our neighbourhoods safer.

I have mixed my vegetable garden into my flower garden in the front yard. I also have vegetable gardens in my back yard.
