Why dont you ask along your road if anyone else would be interested in growing any veg, whether it be in the front or back . then you could share the seeds etc.

go for it , i was also thinking the same with mine. if your neibours dont like it tell them you would have no objections to have your veg supplied by them as an alternative

I know for a lot of the year they are not exactly a thing of beauty, I dont know if my neighbours would be unimpressed and think I was crazy?

better than a rusty old car or a skip! A small picket fence would mask it and look nice  :?
A big advantage would be that any burgler would end up with muddy feet and vegetable DNA on his or her feet !!!

Hi there, i grew some some lettuces, carrots, and various salad leaves last year in my little patch of mud (my patch of of is 1m width to 35cm L. typical Victorian terraced house) in the front garden and it worked a treat.
My land lady wasn't very impressed but soon changed her mind once she had a few carrots!  

Bit of advice though about growing in the front garden make sure your postman / window cleaner does not put his or her ladder or feet on your patch. This happened to me repeatedly all last year  was not at all impressed.  :evil:

Well I have been given the go ahead to do this with our garden. So Im now starting to plan what Im going to do.

I have worked out I can nicly fit 7 2x1m linkabord raised beds in with gravel walk ways in between. I will have a few sack planters on the paving for things like spuds, and a strawberry planter.

Now I cant grow anything to tall as it will block the light out into our house. But would like to grow some fruit. I was thinking strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. Does anyone have any other suggestions. I dont know if I would be able to grow any trees but smaller fruit yeilding plants would be great. Also suggestions of good complementary flowers that I can grow with them to make it look more attractive.

I'd go for it Cat     A patch of well kept lawn can look tidy but deadly boring, whereas a well tended pottager is going to look different and pretty - a sort of nutritious country garden.  Would love to see some pics in a few months time.

We had cabbages in the front garden for years (not the same ones all the time) :?

Right I have just ordered a copy of 'The Creative Vegtable Garden' I dont know if any of you have it?

Instead of being just a book on veg, its about making it look attractive all year round and plants that look good together, mixing colours, textures and tastes.

Looking forward to getting started, will be sure to take documented pics as I go along.
