I turned my front yard into a vegitable garden about 3 years ago. I grow about 300lbs of food each year. My neighbors have been super supportive and love seeing what what I’m growing!
What's most frustrating is perspective. I love looking at a veg garden, if I visit stately homes and gardens I'm going to the veg garden first! They're so beautiful and practical. I know there are areas that have restrictions in place against having a veg plot on their front garden, but it's ridiculous! In my opinion my garden is one of the prettiest on my street! I have colour, texture, height and most importantly it's 90% edible! It's surprisingly low maintenance too.
Flamingo pink kale, pink celery, and petunias? Runner beans and candy stripe cosmos? 😍 Can’t wait to pour through this book - yay for Amazon prime one day! I had to play this one extra loud on the TV so the man could hear you... worried what the neighbors will think? Ohh the humanity! Lol thank you!
I have an HOA and a very tiny backyard.... so I was just going to plant in containers like crazy in the front yard to see how much I can get away with. I'm not sticking to a color scheme, I like all the colors and I live in the more adventurous part of town. Wink, wink. I'm such a new gardener that I am just trying to grow as many different plants as possible to see what is the lowest maintenance collection for my area. I am also experimenting with companion planting because I hate spraying for pests, its tedious and I'm not feelin' it. I am super excited about the following 4 containers: Purple Tree Collard w/red spanish lavender and wormwood, Orange Butterfly Milkweed with light Blue Catmint and Dark Blue May Night Salvia, Red Lucifer Crocosmia with Walking Onions, and finally Kiwi Blue Honeywort with Pink Double Decker Echinacea. I am doing a mix of growing from seed and ordering plants/bulbs. I hope some of this works out okay.
The nosy HOA president is 2 doors down, but thanks for noticing! I mostly just want to take advantage of the space and rainfall so I’m planting various lettuces in hopes that the rest of the neighborhood will get jealous and push for updating the outdated regulations. Greetings from Houston, Texas!
I’m a photographer- I know about leading lines and focal points and color wheels- why have I not paid more attention to this in my oh so random garden? The more I learn about edible landscaping and permaculture, the more ideas I have , but I still haven’t bridged that gap from totally random to letting nature do it’s thing to planned beauty and maximum yield. Still not sure where I’m going, but enjoying experimenting along the way...Thanks for the inspiration
I love reading the comments, some great ideas. My edible landscape started as an herb garden several years ago. The area went from herbs to a holding place with plants I had left over from garden or plants I didn’t know what to do. Last year, I ripped everything out and grew pumpkins, squash and cucumbers. The vines and color was gorgeous. This year, I’m hoping be more diverse in plants and color. I love the focal point idea too. My biggest problem had been trying to do too much, getting a muddy look. I need to remember to be focused and keep it simple. I’m really enjoying the direction these videos are taking, thank you
HEY BRIAN, IT'S A SEASON AS YOU CALL CHANGE FOR ME TOO HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. I AM SO GLAD WE GET AN EXTRA HR OF DAYLIGHT NOW AND WISH IT WOULD STAY THAT WAY INSTEAD OF FALLING BACK.
Just got my cold weather bed all set to plant yesterday and then we got some snow today. Ugh! New England weather! Guess planting is going to have to wait a day. Spring can't come soon enough! Front yard spring cleaning and flower planting planned for next weekend, fingers crossed the weather works out! In the meantime I'll be watching the older videos you mentioned. No waiting room here, just time to learn more!
In the median I have massive self seeding purple salvia. In my front yard by my porch I have gorgeous bright orange New Zealand (?) Poppies that self seed, plus gold daylillies . One the other side of the walk are gorgeous purple irises and more daylillies. I have a purple/orange color pallet that comes back every year... So, I plan to add lavender, lots of bright orange marigolds, rainbow chard, purple basil, lupine, red cabbage, deep purple hollyhock, orange nasturtium, some multicolor lettuces, and red Russian kale... plus some lime colored plants here and there. There will be no lawn when I'm done, but white clover, instead, for the bees. If they can handle the garbage lawn full of weeds next door, they can handle my beautiful colorful yard. There is also a big purple leafed tree in the other median that I plan to plant coleus under.
Really excellent advice, especially during a time when our food source is unpredictable. Thank you so much! People need to remember that those hearty, woody Mediterranean herbs like rosemary, oregano, sage, lavender and thyme prefer living in a rocky dirt soil and left bit on the dry side. Imagine how they grow wild in the Mediterranean. So they are great to stick in A sunny spot in the front yard and forget about them until you need to harvest some for cooking or a small fragrant flower arrangement.
I started my edible gardening journey with home grown flowers and crops started from seed. I have neighbors asking me to label what I plant 😂 I may end up feeding the neighborhood squirrels and birds, but I’m really excited about this project.
Thanks for great ideas!! My house is on uphill kinda land. But fortunately or un fortunately my garage side is my front side with plenty of sun being on the south side. So my garage side makes a front side for guests as they have to drive up hill. This series is giving me bunch of ideas to fix tha space. My mind is racing with so many ideas after watching this video 👍🤩👩🌾
This is the part that stresses me out lol. I also worked for a well known company known for attention to detail. Once you see the line of sight you can’t unsee it. I’m still a beginner and want to grow everything ☺️🌱
I love the color wheel idea but I also think it’s a good idea to consider which pollinators you’re hoping to attract, as they all have their favorites (which I’m really leaning into this year). You have an established garden but I think us newer folks should consider breadcrumb colors to lead them where you want. Last year my pollinators were crap because they couldn’t see anything below my railing, so this year I’m doing pollinator-specific colors hanging up high (like a “FREE FOOD” sign 😂), in hopes that they remember me later in the year. Who knows if it’ll work. 🤷🏼♀️ Ps. Good job saving $300!!!
We ripped out our entire front yard landscaping and straight up went for raised beds throughout. The neighbors didn't know what to think at first but now nobody even notices anymore. They might notice the block of corn we're doing this summer tho. :D
I am excited to have more edibles in my gardens. My first addition in the front is a blueberry hedge. Looking forward to getting more ideas to fill it in as a border. In the back, I will primarily be dressing my deck.
I'm doing a blueberry hedge too! In the back though. And it might now become a 2 year project because I didn't get a couple of the old ones transplanted in time...
@@pamthompsonarbogast3687 i have a few in the back 'for eating,' as they say. I have to shroud them, or the birds get them all. In the front, I can share with birds and friends alike. 🫐 🐦
Thanks for this series! 👍🏽 I’ve been gradually transforming my zone 9b NoCal front yard from lava rock + plastic sheeting over heavy clay soil, and non-edible, mature landscaping, to a food forest since we bought our house 3 years ago. Really enjoying the process.
Lol my focal point accidentally grew to be a focal point. I just planted for max planting I could fit in the small area 6m x 10m in the front yard. But since I started 12 months ago I have spoken more to the neighbours than ever before, as they walked past they commented on how much nicer the fruit trees were than grass. Although the neighbour next to us with a traditional garden does not like it lol. We don't have HOA here in Australia thank god. But I am happy most of the neighbours like it, I know people get all on the "it's my land thing" but we have to share a space with others.
Pleasing to the eye and clashing colours is an individual preference I don't let a wheel tell me what to do lol. If somebody else doesn't like what I do that's their loss.
I’m planning to add a section of okra to my front flower bed. Mostly because they are supposed to be deer resistant. Along with my oregano. Fingers crossed.
I am so excited to try this in my front yard! The fruit trees done the way you showed them are very interesting. I might have to see about doing one of those too. Thank you so much for the info and all the giggles. Love your goofball side.
Brian, You might consider an Okra plant or two. I've been growing them in the front yard for years.. The neighbors compliment the blooms and how tall it can grow.... Little do they know of the treasure they bare.. Guess I should share the secret..
Because I only have sun in my front side yard, my raised garden beds are there. At first it felt a bit awkward, but now I shoot videos out there. My neighborhood has let me know multiple times how much they enjoy seeing my vegetable garden. The last 3 years I have incorporated more flowers for aesthetics, but most of them are also edible!
Hi Brian, do I need to worry about planting plants too close to the walls? Will water for plants be a problem for the foundation? Will any plant’s roots invade the wall footings?
Thanks for the video, I’m looking forward to this series. I’m doing a front yard garden this spring, and I’m super interested in this content! Thanks again! Ryan
Thanks for the tips, great fodder for planning and inspiration. I think I will explore a small espalier on my back south facing wall to get started. Which fruit tree would you recommend to a first-timer?
Took out half my front yard grass last fall. I’ve started perennials, herbs and will be purchasing a few plants to add. Planted bulbs last fall and all of them are up and getting ready to bloom. Waiting to get the book delivered. Planted sage a few years ago. When it blooms, the bees, esp bumblebees love it.
Happy Sunday! ☕🌞 Thank you for this video! Ive been planning my front yard garden all winter, and am excited but a bit nervous! I hope it turns out as well as anticipated! 😊 The back yard is fully landscaped now, so I have to move to the front! I envision a country cottage border with raised beds in the center! So much to plan, perrennials to grow and I always take my Monarch butterflies and Milkweed into account 😊 Hope you don't mind that I posted the link to the FB group again (Im Joan on FB, but Linda is my actual name 😄) Have a happy Sunday! 🌞

I was shocked to realize I have just a bit over half an acre that’s cleared...not an acre as I thought My plan now is to reduce grass and mowing by getting more perennials in. Someday I would love to have the other 3 1/2 or so acres thinned so there are walking paths through the woods with shade loving plants along the paths. II need to live to be 100 to accomplish it🤣🤣 Great coaching from the sideline, Emilie!😉 Thanks as always. So excited about this journey with you ❤️❤️❤️
