It’s still coat weather where we are. When you look outside, the trees are bare and the ground is brown. Just a few weeks ago, our backyard was covered in snow. The snow is gone now, it didn’t last long, but everything still looks dead back there. You’d think it’s too soon to start thinking of spring, but really, the way time has been rolling by lately, it will be here before you know it. I’m already thinking up ideas on what to plant and how to plant it. I’ve even started buying up seeds. in a couple of weeks, we can probably start our seedlings already.
There’s an idea I’ve been toying with but I don’t know how well of a reception it will receive from my husband who really is the one who does all the gardening. I’m just the idea person. 
Now I’ve always been a no fuss kind of person. I’ve never had much need or talent for ornamentation. That’s why I never could relate to people who are obsessive about verdant lawns and manicured gardens. Sure, it’s fine if you live in a palace like Versailles, but if I only have a small plot of land to do what I want with, I would rather plant something I can eat than something for others to admire. That’s why our front lawn had never interested me. Up until now that is…
I was thinking, what if we expand our vegetable garden to the front yard? Watch the video below. Some people are already doing it!
So what do you think? It would certainly increase the amount of food we can produce! It wold also add more visual interest and variety rather than just plain ol’ green grass. That’s my thinking!

You might also consider an orangery. That could give you fruit and vegetables you wouldn’t be able to grow in open air
