Front Yard Garden

Urban Garden Summer Tour & Harvest – Townhome Front Yard Raised Bed in Maryland



A walk through of our very first vegetable garden! We didn’t grow up gardening so this is our big experiment. Here’s the progress in our first year in July 2019.

  1. Lucky for you, at where I live, we'll get a big trouble if we grow like yours. HOA sued my dad and they asked him to remove entire plants along the walkway to the front door. He disagreed and the case is going on. They told him that he created a landscape bed without their approval. He told them and proved to them the landscape bed was there before he purchased the house (1997). Then… blah blah blah… asked him to pay fees, lawyer fees, court set up fees, administration fees, recorded retrieving fees… he disagreed and then they said the plants weren't approved… and finally they forced him to sign a landscape approval requested form so they have the record to tell other homeowners or remove the plants.

  2. I love how much you packed into this small space. Next time plant the sunflowers to the back, so it does not shade out the shorter crops. But because of its height, it will get lots of sunlight. I couldn't help but pick up on the fact that you speak really well- grammatically.

  3. Be mindful that you are planting things really close together. The root systems will compete for nutrients and growth can be stunted this way. Also, melons prefer to grow on the ground. When you hang the vines vertically you run the risk of the weight of the melon snapping off the branch as it grows and gets heavier.

  4. Love your compact first garden. So full of great veggies and stuff. I just started my first garden this year, at the ripe young age of 53. Keep up the great work. Love it. Greetings from the Netherlands.
