After watching several videos and checking out loads of pictures of DC's Solar Decathlon, it seems that there is a recurring theme in many of the houses. Edible. Landscape. I really enjoy the aesthetic appeal of the various colors that plants and flowers can add to a landscape. It's even better when growing plants locally means there is a smaller amount of petroleum is tied up in each edible plant. Just think about the freshness, too! 
Growing your own food locally is really catching on. From Community Supported Agriculture to sharing your own backyard, locally grown produce often times is tastier and better for you. I have found a great website called www.sharingbackyards.com.This
website helps people with little or no land for growing things connect with people who do.
What are your thoughts on edible landscapes? What do you think about sharing your backyard?
