Front yards transformed to tiny crop farms in Los Angeles provide vegetables to dozens of families and use a fraction of the water needed by grass.

    Put some pumpkins in between the corn while you’re at it…harvest both at the same time. It’s what my grandmother used to do

        i’m a little late to this but consider adding beans, and you can have a “three sisters” garden - a synergistic planting where each helps the others and benefits the soil
