Many of the images used to show you what I mean and what can be done were blatantly obtained through Google search as was much of the other content of this video.

That really sucks big time. No chance for some pots or planters?
I BBQ and eat the dog's owner! Best served with horseradish sauce.
Thanks for the encouragement. I will be doing more videos about "Living on the Cheap and Easy" which should be fun.
Great ideas in this video. I'm going to be moving into a new house next month and will be doing edible landscaping and this video along with the links you added will be very helpful. Seems like common sense to at least get something out of your landscaping if you're going to be putting so much into it (water, time, money, etc.). Thanks!
great advice, thanks
@GettingThereGreen Yes!
@GettingThereGreen Thank you so much. Some of the most common edible plants are very beautiful as well as nutritious. Take the humble radish. You can eat the bulb and cook the greens. But, if you let some grow, they produce pretty white flowers. Then, you can pick the young seed pods and boil them to serve with butter and a touch of salt. Since you will have a lot of pods, allow some ripen to seed because you can sprout and eat the seeds. Of course the remaining seeds are for growing next year.
Thank you! I didn't know you could eat flowers!

Thanks for the info. Looks of great identification of plants.
This was a great video. I'm composting now to start a container garden for the spring.

Looks like 1 person would rather live "expensive and difficult"…
@SSanf I didn't know coleus was edible.
