That design is awesome! I usually read from my feed reader so glad it hasn't been up for too long.

Oh, boy... summer's coming again, isn't it? Your garden pictures always make me drool. I seem to remember that I have some borage seeds around here that are gonna need some planting! :)

I'm so happy to read this post, as I've followed your lawn to victory path for some time now!! : ) Great stuff, GB.

And wowza, the site looks FABULOUS. I LOVE IT.

It felt sooo good to read about green summer days when the world outside my window is completely white. Thanks for that little break from the reality of winter in Canada!

I LOVE the new header!!!

Green Rez: Well, there are certainly times when things don't grow right or the slugs get there before you do but it ain't rocket science. Besides, I look at everything as experimentation. I'm still figuring out what grows really well in my area and what not so well. Happy planting!!

Dogwood: Probably true. We have no HOA. You could probably get away with some chards or peppers tucked in your flower beds as Personal Garden Coach did (see below).

Sheeep: Woohoo! Then you can spend your time worrying about keeping the goat out of the pumpkin patch, as you wrote in your last post. ;-) I still want chickens. Trying to figure out where to stow them.

Garden Coach: Great story for those with tough HOAs. My neighbors, too, loved watching how things grew last year - esp the pumpkins and sunflowers. It's something different and interesting than plain ole grass.

JessTrev: You have NO idea! If only you lived closer, I'd pawn some of the puree off on you. We have a pretty small yard but sounds like we've got quite a bit more room than you. Good luck with the community plot.

Ruchi: Jealous much? And why don't you think that I designed it with my mad graphic design skilz!?! It was a friend of Jess's. Stay tuned for a post about our hot makeover.

Dude, the new banner is HOTT. Who designed it?

Wow! No wonder you have no shortage of pumpkin puree! I don't have any yard at all -- just a cherry tree and some hydrangeas in front and a brick patio in back -- but I do like to grow food, on my back deck and in my community garden plot. You know what else I would love, besides a giant garden out my front door? Drought-resistant plantings like one of my neighbors put in. She doesn't water them at all -- and they are beautiful!

Great post! I started doing this in small bits last year as well. I mixed Corn into the front bed, here and there. And it resembled the ornamental types. Neighbors loved watching the progression through the season. Herbs and other bits last year too.
I have a Nazi Homeowners Association, but obviously no veg gardeners, no one batted an eye!

Great post GB. I have a half acre lawn that is a pain in the arse to mow! I'm lobbying hard to convince Hubby that a goat would be the perfect fix. I don't bother wasting water on it, when it's dead it's dead. (The lawn, not goat.) This year I am making plans to start down the road to victory. In five years I hope to have food not lawn.

I would love to do this, but first I would probably need to move to a neighborhood with no home owners association.

I hope this gardening thing is as easy as you make it sound. I've got notes from your posts on GBDs last year, and I'm so excited (but nervous) about planting edibles in my flower beds this year.

Love the new header :)
