The average kitchen garden as its name implies is designed to produce vegetables for use in the kitchen. As a result the vegetable plot has to be practical rather than pretty. However there is one person whose mission is to bust this misconception. That person is Megan whose article I came across on the Creative Vegetable Gardener website.
Vegetable gardens are ugly. This is a commonly held belief by a lot of people. Or, at least, vegetable gardens aren?t as pretty as perennial gardens. They should be hidden in your backyard and you should save your front yard for growing trees, shrubs, and flowers.
One of my missions is to bust this misconception! You can have a vegetable garden that produces a lot of food and is beautiful to look at. In fact, you can even feature your vegetable garden as a focal point of your entire landscape. I do!
My house sits on a very visible corner of my neighborhood and my vegetable garden wraps around the front and side of my house. Every single person who walks, bikes, or drives by my house instantly knows that a vegetable gardener lives here.
And, my garden shows that growing vegetables can be gorgeous and tasty.
