And throw in some geese to protect the corn.


But don't forget to pick up your goose poop.

Me! Or, anyway, next year I will.

If growing corn in your front yard makes you backward, does growing corn in your back yard make you forward?


No, it just makes you normal.

For the record, I'm 40, highly educated and HHI of $500k and would be fine with tasteful gardening that includes vegetables wherever they would grow best.


What a strange post. I don't see how being highly educated and having a high income correlates to corn tolerance.


If anything, I would think the higher income types would NOT want the corn being grown on the front lawns of their neighborhood. Yikes! Talk about "bringing down the neighborhood"! etc.....

I am 40 and have a graduate degree from the London School of Economics, and I am one of the ones repeatedly saying "no" to front yard corn in this thread.

No issue with it. If we had a larger front yard, I'd put a few veggie beds there. Our neighbors grow veggies in their front yard - they share with their neighbor. I wish I had the space. That is where they get the most sunlight. Our garden is in the back yard. Corn does grow!

Growing corn at home sound great to me!

Not tacky - I'd grow corn if the front yard received enough afternoon sun. We have a side yard that does, but it's small so I focus on other plants.

Neighbors' front yards have berries (earlier this season), melons, tomatoes, corn, herbs, and I'm sure other things.

Google "edible landscaping".

Don't forget the squash and beans.

It might make your house a target for corn thieves.

Not tacky, sadly against the rules in our HOA neighborhood.
