In this part of Canada, "yard" seems to be the catchall word for "garden." I haven't set aside space for veggies for a while now ... just lawn, my maple trees, the sunflowers against the fence (treats for the squirrels), and morning glories ... no idea how they got there ... but it is a nice relaxing place, wonderful on a warm summer, or fall evening, esp as my bats and purple martins keep eat most of the moskies.
