Plant a Front Lawn Ornamental Edible Vegetable Garden

Hi, I'm Shawna Coronado and today I'm going to teach you how to plant a front lawn vegetable garden. I know you've been following along and every year I have a different design, a different layout. This year my design is going to be kind of special. I'm doing a sun ray design and that means that every other row is going to be a different color of vegetable and I'm going to stretch it out so it's angled and looks like a sunrise. Now the benefit of this is you can plant a lot of plants very closely together. No crowding, it all works out. I'm not kidding you and in the end the result is a beautiful garden. First we lay out the rope and we hammer in the stakes. After that we get the vegetables. Now these vegetables are from jung seed and I've got five different types of vegetables. We have rainbow swiss chard, a ball head cabbage, a purple top rutabaga, a purple cabbage that it's almost a reddish color, it's really beautiful and then on the far end over there we have a special kale. Now the kale and the cabbage grow all season long so you really have a long display of color and beauty. Now the next step that we're going to do is dig the holes, put some fertilizer in. Now I always go with organic fertilizer. Once we dig the hole we put a couple tablespoons of the fertilizer in the hole and we cover up the the bottom of the root system. We do that all through the garden until everything is planted. Then you want to water it in really well. After that you just have to let it grow. Make sure you weed. Outside of that it's pretty easy because you planted all these plants so close together it really pulls the weeds out. I don't have a lot of weeding to do through the summer. All right we are at the end of the garden season now and the vegetables look fantastic and this is your front lawn vegetable garden. I know that you can grow this too. Super easy, super simple.
