The only place that is flat in my yard is in the front yard.I want to grow some vegiatables.What would you recommend to grow in front yard, so it is edible andlooks good enough not to piss homeowner asscociation?

Where I live (a nice suburban area) I can plant anything I want in myfront yard (yes, I checked). I even had a scarecrow for a while, I amsure that neighbors complained, but the village could not doanything. I am trying to behave better in my new house though. See ifyour association has specific rules about planting stuff, maybe itdoes not and you can do anything you want. I think that anything edible looks better than lawns. I would considerpotatoes or low tomatoes. i

what kind of vegetable would you recommend to grow in front yard?

I'd add peppers (bell and hot) to the list. And if the HOA says something, you can always say 'Well, they were *supposed* to be the ornamental christmas light type peppers. I guess someone at the big box store swapped tags on me, I'll have to give them a piece of my mind, thank you"

I grow habanero peppers along the sidewalk up to my front door. They were targeted only one time. :-)

Buy a couple of dozen gaudy plastic hibiscus, lily, or rose blooms and fasten them to your corn stalks or over your potato plants!! That should flummox the ignorant busybodies!
