Edible stuff in the front yard
Being from a country where people considered their land plots as
source of food rather than entertainment, I have hard times
reconciling myself with gardening decorative plants. I personally
plant only what I can eat. Although I would not mind my spouse
devoting herself to planting flowers and whatnot, this is not
something that I see myself doing.
My question, rather, is, what varieties of plants that produce FOOD
can be planted in the FRONT yard.
Some things come to mind.
1. Sunflowers -- beautiful flowers that make nice seeds
2. Corn -- tall grass with some view blocking properties that looks
nice and is also obviously edible. Adds a rustic look to the area
3. Fruit trees -- great flowering in the spring and great looking
crops in the fall.
I am thinking of setting up a nicely decorated compost pile in the
front yard next year, and growing squash in it.
Any other ideas for food plants that look nice int he front yard?
