Backyard Bounty

For years, this charming vegetable garden was nothing more than a patch of mulch in a suburban family's big backyard. But this year, with help from a hands-on grandpa, these creative homeowners have turned a small corner of their yard into a healthy garden of purpose. Now, when one of the family's meals calls for fresh herbs, jalapeño peppers, cucumbers or any other number of fresh veggies, it's just a quick walk out the back door to pluck some produce, making any dish extra special.
