Garden idea: Start your own small scale pizza farm

Pizza Farm

I love the idea of a pizza farm! It's a farm divided into pie slices with each slice featuring a different pizza topping. Sections could include tomatoes, onions, peppers, broccoli, or even pigs (for bacon). There are several pizza farms in the US that have become popular as tourist attractions and for school field trips. Visit Suite 101 for a list of these farms.

What I love even more than the idea of a large scale pizza farm is the idea of a small scale pizza garden. Why do our home gardens always have straight edges? Is it harder to make circles? I'm sure mine would end up looking like a pizza cloud, but I could live with that.

Having a pizza garden would be a great way to give kids a taste of gardening. Let me know if you try it!

He loved all plants and had a garden every year, but one year (I think he was about 4 at the time) he came up with the most brilliant idea- a pie garden! In his pie garden, he grew everything he loved to eat in pie: apples, blueberries, strawberries, cherries, and sweet potatoes. And his garden was round, too, or as he put it while waving his arms: "my garden is round, round, around like a circle".
