Every single person in utah should do this.

I’m curious what happens in the winter. I’m new to Utah and playing around with a large garden in my backyard. I’d love to have more native plants and flowers for the pollinators other than our grass, even if it’s not food. I’ve even just been looking at winter cover crops as green manure for our garden and it seems so hard with the snow. I’m in the salt lake area.

I have enjoyed your videos thanks for sharing such great information!
I haven’t watched all your videos yet but have you talked to Garden Wise Adventures? They have some great content about growing less common fruits here in Utah like figs, jujube, persimmon, and medlar. I’d love to see you do a video with them.

Most communities in our State will not allow this.
You have to have a certain percentage turf, especially the front.
I have never understood turf requirements in the 2nd driest State.

I love to hear about how to figure out the best mixture of soil for your raised beds. Something is off in mine and I can’t figure it out.

Here is Orem’s law:
“At least fifty percent (50%) of each contiguous area required to be landscaped under this chapter shall be planted and maintained with some combination of grass, shrubs, trees, flowers, vines, or other living plants (excluding weeds).”

Who knows what they can decide to call a “weed, ” but at least it allows plants other than grass, so it SEEMS like foodscaping should be ok.

Probably mostly matters that your neighbors don’t complain.

Is Foodscape Utah still working in the area? I’d love to be able to do something like this in our tiny back yard.

How do you grow artichokes in Utah? Are they an annual, or do you cover in the winter with something to help them come back? (Mapleton Utah-Zones 6a. 6b, 7a. )Thanks

Is it just for people in the ogden area? Any way of getting to other counties like Tooele?

SLC won't let you grow vegetables in the front yard, if they are over 6" tall, no go.

[loganwatson]

most HOAs won't allow homeowners to do this in their front yards
