Me too, but only where the neighbors can't see. I have several clear tarps and one silver one that I have stapled 10' long 1X3's to two ends. I drape these over our chicken tractors when it rains. We had a party here a few months back and invited a few neighbors they looked out in the yars and asked why we had so many tarp-covered camper shells back there! I just pulled them off, rolled them up and stacked them on my outdoor "shelf" : two fat fir branches from neighboring trees about 7' off the ground! You can hardly see them.
Hmmm... my vege garden has always been out back where nobody gets to see, so I get to do whatever I like. But the sun is in front. So this year we are moving my entire operation to the front.
I might have to plant a big row of flowers infront of my vegetables to hide & integrade them. But the cold frame might be a no no.
At the mean time, the vege starts are growing into the grow light in my laundry room.
I have 3 kinds of kale, zukes, peas, sunflowers, cosmoes, basil, holly hocks, and lots more seeds. I'm also going to harvest some iris plants and a few comfrey plants. I'll have to plant the comfrey at my neighbours before they move in.
I have spent a lot of time thinking about putting in raised veggie bed on whats left of the front lawn. I have a hedge along the sidewalk so I think I could get away with it. The only thing that really slows me down about the idea is that the cats live out in the front lawn. I have 5 cats, and I know that most of the neighbors have cats. I still don't know how many cats I am feeding most of the time. At least all the cats seem to be altered, because I have not seen any kittens for a long time now.
