An old post, I know, but I just wanted to throw a warning out there. A backyard garden is awesome, but I do have to point out that if you change your front yard into a garden (as we once tried), you may not see many of the ‘fruits of your labor’. Somebody kept stealing the produce out of our front yard.

Especially annoying since we would have shared if they just asked. :/

Great post, and comments too! It’s my first time to this site and I’m enjoying it.

Couple things: first, we are one of those “bad” people with a lawn that my husband likes to keep beautiful, BUT, he does it with mostly organic applications. We have a great guy here in town who is very knowledgable about all this and he came out to tell us how we could keep it looking good without having to worry about all the chemicals our kids (and all the neighbor kids) were being poisoned with through their feet.

Also, I’m starting a container garden soon and I’m so excited because I think my kids will eat more veggies that way, and I’ll save money at the farmers market. I often spend over $40 a week there, but we eat so good in the summer! I’d like to just put it in the ground, but we don’t have a good out of the way spot, and last time I tried that, critters ate everything, so it was a lot of work for nothing! There are probably great ways around this, but I’m SO ignorant about gardening, I’m just starting slow.

Hey Hubbard,

Please, please, please provide a comprehensive guide to what words are acceptable for other humans to use, in your view, so poor, silly Nancy doesn’t mess up again. Please.
