Sometimes creativity is neededto grow your own food
• If all the sun is in the front yard
• If there is no backyard• If you want a productive
alternative to the lawn• If you like to experiment

Respect your neighbors while challenging tradition
• The lawn has been highly valued for many years
• Some Home Owners Organizations will not like a front yard veggie garden
• Most neighbors are more flexible than you might expect

Gardens can help neighbors connect and learn
• Keep your garden attractive where highly visible to others
• Share the goodies when possible
• Talk to people about your plants
• Consider helping others grow food in their yards too

Vegetables have needs
• Full sun is best, over six hours per day
• Water requirement usually higher than most ornamentals
• Many need more fertilizer than flowers for best yield
• Might need staking or trellis

Most Vegetables are annualsSome are slow to fill in while
others rapidly sprawlPlan for holes in the
landscape as plants are harvested
