This NYT article briefly discusses architect Fritz Haeg's _Edible_Estates:_Attack_on_the_Front_Lawn_, a book on the progressive concept using one's front yard -- not backyard -- as a vegetable garden.
I'm not a homeowner yet, but I envision my "attacked" front lawn with a cornstalk fence along the property line, a Common Fig flanking each side of the house, a grapevined trellis over the front door, bush-sized herb plants in boxes, bright colors popping from red pepper plants, eggplant and yellow squash (summer), red cabbages, varicolored pumpkins (fall) and just to thumb my nose at Monsanto . . . two huge boxes full of dandilion plants for salad greens.
How would you "attack" your front yard?
