Give them some of your produce and they won’t care hehe.

I would love to have gardens everywhere! Yet I can’t seem to grow anything in my small backyard garden lol.

Amber, Actually my neighbors are very sweet so hoping once I deliver a little homemade eggplant parm, they will warm up to the idea even more! Thanks for visiting.

Obviously, I can’t speak for your neighbours, but front yard gardens make me smile. I’d rather see people use the best growing spots for food, instead of more lawns!

You are so right! We are definitely in the midst of a transition and maybe someday the front yard eggplants will be the envy of the neighborhood! Thanks for the comment Lynn.

Hi Jeanne,

Thanks for this great submission! I gather that it was something in your neighbor’s tone that implied, “Can you believe it?..They planted a front yard garden?!” I hope in a few years people say, “Can you believe it? They don’t have rainbarrels! They use chemical fertilizers! Can you believe it?” Funny what we look askance at…

Anna,
Yes – getting to the church community garden was more difficult than I thought. While we have planted carrots and green beans in our backyard this time…eggplant and squash are going in the front! Thanks for visiting and look forward to being a part of your Green Mom Carnival.

I can see why you would want to garden at home. Although I love the aspect of chatting all day with my fellow gardeners, the downside is would have to force myself to get in the car to tend the garden. I am glad your boys are involved. You got to start them young. My boys are older and think gardening is just plain hard work.

Look forward to hearing about your gardening adventures! Welcome to the Green Mom Carnival.
