Urban Gardens

I don't know if they have always been there and I just haven't noticed them, or if they are just now sprouting. As I ride through suburban neighborhoods I see them everywhere. Raised garden beds. Veggies growing amidst front yard flowers. Gardens fully tilled and surrounded by electric fencing to keep the deer away. Containers spilling over with fresh herbs. It seems that there is a swing towards urban gardening and all that it offers. The benefits of eating fresh! The joys of reaping what you have sown! The beauty that these urban gardens add to your landscape!
