..before you get caught picking cucumbers in your front yard, are slapped with a fine, and charged with a misdemeanor, here are some sneaky strategies you can try to disguise your subversive gardening acts. You can always resort to planting edible flowers and herbs among the veggies in your front yard, and Big Brother will be none the wiser.

This method of stealth edible gardening is worth a try if you are unfortunate enough to live in a city with an ordinance dictating what types of plants are “suitable” for your front yard. I am very much in favor of working to change such local laws that are misguided and often outdated; but in the meantime, the following tips may help keep you out of handcuffs.

Good links py :biggthump

It is ridiculous that people even need to thing about doing this. There are so many really nice companion plants that one can plant with veggie plants, like marigolds, basil, borage and other herbs that can really visully pretty up a veggie garden and make the veggies taste better too.
