Some Long Island homeowners are replacing their lawns with gardens

They aren't "killing" their lawns, they are bringing them to life! I have been doing this for years. I have fruit trees too! The 'day lilies' aren't actually lilies, lilies are poisonous, but the day lilies are edible, the whole plant is.... and they come back every year! I just drove out in the country and got a shovel of them, and planted them in my yard and they spread, now I have a few different areas with them. Also, sun chokes are great, they come back every year and are edible. Berries give food, I have strawberries near my gate for anyone who wants some. I also have rhubarb, black berries and raspberries. Look up edible perennials and you can have lots of fun! I also let the milkweed just grow wherever it comes up. I have never used chemical fertilizers or herbicides or pesticides. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee0mNDNOJHg
