what kind of vegetable would you recommend to grow in front yard?

 

The only place that is flat in my yard is in the front yard.
I want to grow some vegiatables.
What would you recommend to grow in front yard, so it is edible and
looks good enough not to piss homeowner asscociation?

 


Where I live (a nice suburban area) I can plant anything I want in my
front yard (yes, I checked). I even had a scarecrow for a while, I am
sure that neighbors complained, but the village could not do
anything. I am trying to behave better in my new house though. See if
your association has specific rules about planting stuff, maybe it
does not and you can do anything you want.

I think that anything edible looks better than lawns. I would consider
potatoes or low tomatoes.

They should do fine there, especially the strawberries.

Frost probably isn't a concern but Kale is known for being very
resistant to the cold (and often lasts well into December here). Kale is
a member of the cabbage family, so you'd face the same concerns - like
root maggot. I usually put a bit of newspaper around the plants and
mulch on top.

If you get strawberries, get a day-neutral variety. You'll get berries
well into the fall and they don't send out many runners that would
overwhelm the garden. Get some transplants, plant them, pick the flowers
off them for the first few weeks, then let them fruit. You should mulch
them as well. Strawberry plants are good for 3 to 5 years.
