Bossy’s Favorite Things

Vegetable gardens in the front yard.

This house lives in Bossy’s neighborhood, and in their front yard, in lieu of a humorless suburban lawn, they have a farm of vegetables and herbs and flowers. Bossy would do this in a heartbeat if any of her many front yards over the years got anything close to full sun.

   I am so with you on this one, Bossy. My house faces north, so all I can grow on my postage-stamp sized yard is ivy. I’d also worry about the neighbors letting their dogs pee on my produce. Ugh.
   Cheers, p.j.

   We have tomatoes and basil in pots in our front yard right now–and they’re doing great because we remember to water them more during warm weather.

   –>If Bossy lived in my ‘hood I’d shared my home-grown veggies with you. Plus, did I mention we have a lemon bush in a big pot?

   I long for a huge flower garden in a front yard. But first, I have to get a house.
