Coming Up: Edible Landscaping

bro-yard-front-march1

I’ve been helping my brother try to come up with ideas for a garden at his house.  However, they don’t have a huge yard {as seen above}and definitely don’t have room for a square plot or a more elaborate potager design.  Because their yard is so shallow in front as well as in back, it looks like we will try to replace some of the foundation  plants and trees with more edible versions.

He lives on a corner and this side actually is the best spot we could find for a garden area.  But I think the front areas among the rocks will be a good spot for a few things too.  We will keep you updated as we progress.

Since I know many of us are still planning and figuring out our gardens and before I get too hog wild with my new garden planning software designs that I want to come up with for you, I thought I would post a series on edible landscaping in case any of you are contemplating replacing some of your ornamental plants with ones that will actually give you food to eat.

So stay tuned!

    Wow, look at this…. very nice. I’m wanting to set up a site for my rabbits too.

    I’ll be looking here for all kinds of good ways to turn old lanscaping into edible landscaping that won’t have the neighbors rising up against us!

    BTW, we’ll be at the rabbit show at the Davis county fair grounds this Saturday.

    Oh really? It would be fun to try and get together and meet! Maybe I could take my kids to the rabbit show–they might like that! Do you have more details?
