When the back yard is not adequate, a growing number of urban residents create front yard vegetable gardens, or they plant vegetables in the back lane. Documented here are endeavors, small and larger, to plant vegetables and fruits in front yards, lanes, and other unexpected places in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and beyond.
The other has kale, tomatoes, chard, beans, and perhaps a blueberry bush.
These are the first raised beds that I've seen made from 4x4's. For those of you who are builders, here is a detail of the corner. These sturdy beds should last a long time.

Nicely done. I like the tidy look. We may want to raise our beds in the next year or so as our flexibility isn't what it was. It won't be too hard as we can just add more lumber on top and fill. Our garden is still producing, but with temperatures sometimes in the 40s at night it might not last much longer. It's a shame as the tomato plants are blooming and there are lots of green ones yet to ripen
