The other trend I've been noticing, but not doing myself is more vegetable gardening.
I've always liked the look of creative food and flower gardens grown together in an aesthetically pleasing combination, but I'm not ready to
invest so much time to keeping it up.
This one is motivated by the economy. Lots more people are even raising chickens in the suburbs.
The stray remnants of a potager I have are a constant supply of self seeding kale I treat as an ornamental
until I'm ready to eat it. Hard neck garlic is also a pretty plant when the swan neck forms, those garlic scapes turned out to be edible also but I left enough for it also to self seed.
Does anyone have a potager?
