Grow Edibles
I love beautiful flowers, especially if they are edible !
I recently, last couple of years, have really been inspired by the grow food not lawn pictures floating around the web.
What a concept,
your lawn could be edible if you dug up the dirt and planted seeds in it.
My lawn is by no means 100% edible.
My husband, son, and I moved into our current home two months ago and started phase one of our kitchen garden.
Phase one.
