Lawns to Edible Landscapes






Climbing Roses

I was never a big fan of roses, but when I moved into my first house, My neighbor chipped in and planted roses on the exterior corner. The roses are a beautiful pink and are still there. We realized quickly that besides being beautiful it acts as a security barrio. Who wants to go thru huge thorn bushes to rob your house? From then on I started noticing all of the beautiful roses around the neighborhood. Our cousins Greg & Lauren, who live down the street from us have a beautiful rose bush that has what seems like millions of flowers through out the spring and summer. When I moved the house came with the fabulous rose bush that is features in the video. That inspired me to go Rose crazy and plant a whole wall of climbing roses along my lattice fence. Wait till you see the number of roses I collected!

Lawns to Edible Landscapes




It’s time to transform America’s lawns into green landscapes. It really hit me on a recent trip to visit my family in Florida. All over the West Palm Beach area there were signs detailing the town rules during the drought they were having and when you could and couldn’t water your lawn. I also saw all of the beautifully manicured housing developments and Golf Courses being watered. It all really bothered me. There had to be another way. I put my head around it and out of that came this video. Please watch and find out my solutions for America’s unhealthy obsession with lawns.
