I like the idea of front yard gardens. It may peak the interest of a passerby and start garden fever around the community. If you don’t have soil, you can use containers. The bucket garden is one idea for that.

great use of your property. Honestly to hell with anyone who thinks that it might be an eye sore. Let them try your vegetables and then see what they say!

This is such a cute idea! There's also some great ideas for a small area on CoffeyBuzz for home gardening. It's such a great idea and so much more healthy since you know exactly what's going in it! http://www.coffeybuzz.com/shows/mary-beth-evans.php

Good for you guys for branching out to the front yard. We’re not brazen enough to do that yet but eventually our garden will work it’s way to the front. Thanks for all the great ideas about edible gardening too.

Way to go! Your front yard garden looks great. We’ve been growing onions in our front yard flower beds for several months. I also have a backyard garden that is growing bigger. Thanks for reminding everyone that gardens can be in the front yard too.

Jodi i really dont think that busy road and pollution from cars will contiminate your food. As cars smoke out CO or CO2 which plants absorbe …. but the plants must be in proper sunlight and watered properly. If all this will be available ,,it hardly matters where you are planting….i guess…

We are thinking about making a front yard garden, but someone told us not to because we live on a busy road and the pollution from the cars will contaminate our food. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Using your front yard to grow food pails in comparison:
You’ll never believe this but I found an article about a HUGE solution with HUGE implications about having a sustainable future. Urban farming is going through a leap in evolution as we speak with vertical farmscrapers – like skyscrapers but organic food to save space, water, food-miles (oil), energy, etc..
Kennedy family is undertaking this project and we may see some awesome things coming in the future (I hope!)

I think it is absolutely great they’re utilizing their front yard for a garden. Nowadays, with today’s economy, you have to do anything you can to save a buck.
