Front Yard #Edible #Landscaping, The #Permaculture Way

Come see our #Permaculture #Garden Front Yard #Landscape. We will be keeping up w/ the updates on our Front yard #FoodForest during the growing season.

Artichoke plants make lovely landscaping plants. They look like giant ferns when not in flower, flowers are attractive, and artichoke hearts are a favorite food in my house.

I like the stealthy external food storage. I like the shirt too.

Very cool edible food forest, thanks for sharing.

I like how you are growing in the front yard. I also like how the blackberries are mixed in with the shrub. 😊

Big League Chew shirt, HAH! i remember seeing that bubblegum in stores as a kid! The garden is looking great too!

I love this! My back yard isn’t in a way to turn it in to a good Forrest yet, but my front yard is coming along and I adore how you’re growing blackberries thru your boxwoods!!

Hey bud ✌its the pepper patch guy... The front lawn looks great love how all the edibles blend in 👍

[kimadkins]

Looks great! Lots of great edibles hidden away. I have a rather large rosemary plant that I need to trim back because it has gotten so big. What is the best way to do that? I'm so scared of killing it!

Great gradual replacement for lawn might be winter savoury. It grows the same height as a well-mown lawn and smells AMAZING when walked on. It also can be used for cooking and i think has little flowers that pollinators like. I think. Maybe.

I'm lucky in that my neighbourhood is in a small town and no one really cares. My direct neighbor who shares a touch of open yard with me has the exact same permaculture dream as I do. We trade seeds and she's given me Jerusalem artichokes the last two years. When she's out of town I water a bit. We trade tips. It's really awesome.

I've just put out a tiny bay laurel and an artichoke (they grow really well here. A nearby house has about four of them as massive ornamentals) and there are already a few strawberries and a witch hazel growing in the little side yard I share with her. I can't remember what she's got growing. She had walking onions at one point. I forgot what all she's planted.

I'm super lucky. So I'm letting dandelions, speedwell, ground ivy, clover, and comfrey slowly replace my yard. I'm also chop and dropping the grass as it grows, so it fertilises itself. And I'm watching the trails of the water to decide where I want to put little raised areas and where I'd like to have lower areas with reeds and frog homes. 😊

Great job incorporating food into what blends in as a typical front yard. Can you recommend an alternative to autumn olive that would grow as well or almost as well? Its a highly invasive pest plant - seeds easily escape and spread from yards, which I'd like to avoid. Thanks.

How do you keep that elderberry from taking over that whole square?

[nickmadevideos]

I need to spruce up my front yard the only bushes there are dying ones that aren’t even edible

[BeccalaiShushushu]

I'm worried about planting edibles over septic. Is this an issue?

[donmarypothoven]

I am wondering about the peppermint. Some mints can be invasive and take over a planting area. Another plant that looks ornamental is okra, the flowers are very nice, and it loves the summer heat. 🙂
