I want to encourage you to edible landscape your front garden / yard!
In North America alone 40 MILLION acres of arable land is put down to unproductive grassy front gardens that could be growing food!
The resources I mention in this video:

If you think growing your own groceries is difficult and boring, I’m on a mission to change your mind and encourage you to give it a go, on whatever scale you can!

Just found you and subbed!
Great video! We plant herbs all over our front porch and you are so right, making it beautiful changes your mood and appreciation.
Great inspiration! We are developing gardens in our front yard now
So true! You speak so much truth! Thank you!
Very inspiring chat! Thank you!
I love the idea of this, our problems are we get almost no sun and we have TONS of deer and rabbits so almost everything I plant gets eaten š We currently are trying lots of herbs that supposedly deer don't like but the lack of sun is making them not grow well š
Just found your channel. I think it is very important for us to raise as much of our own food as possible. Thank you for sharing part of your story. Blessings.
Sadly, in America, it's ILLEGAL to grow veg in some states, heck, it's even illegal to have a water-butt and collect water!!!
p.s. I've subbed to your channel and due to YT's stupid way they play the video's, I'm watching them from newest to oldest (even after sorting them old to new, they STILL play the newest first)
Anyway, love your video's
