Backyards are usually best for children’s play areas because you don’t want them to careen out or chase balls into the street. If you’re a veggie grower with kids, put your patch near the play area so you can keep one eye on them while you weed the zukes.

Vegetable patches don’t have to be relegated to the backyard — put them wherever the light and soil and convenience are best. Who could kvetch about a well-tended patch, planted in an interesting design of diagonals or squares with vegetables that are interspersed with flowers and herbs? Call it a “kitchen garden” if that helps elevate its reputation. (Keep in mind, though, that food gardens definitely have an off-season that is less attractive.)
