One of the most popular magazines in the US is called Better Homes and Garden and it doesn't refer to raising vegetables. When I lived in Western Pennsylvania I had three acres in the country and it was mostly backyard. Some flowers but mostly green grass that had to be mowed. Since moving to Southern Arizona I have substituted rocks and pavers (really thin bricks) for my entire yard area. Some Cacti and one olive tree. The first couple of years here we actually had a small vegetable garden,with sweet corn,green beans and tomatoes. But that was quickly paved over. So much less work and you don't have to water. I think some call it laziness brought on by old age. I just started earlier.
