"Scrapping the front lawn comes naturally to Calvin Abe. \u201CMy garden is about exploring ideas,\u201D says the L.A. landscape architect, who has used the spot to experiment with everything from native plants to Mediterranean ones over the years. His latest endeavor: a front-yard strawberry patch, which was inspired by his childhood growing up on his grandfather\u2019s farm outside Sacramento. \u201CI remember the smell of the berries, the scent of the earth they grew in,\u201D he says. \u201CAnd how\u2014for a treat\u2014my grandfather would serve me fresh berries over homemade ice cream.\u201D\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe front yard may seem an unlikely spot for a strawberry patch, but it made perfect sense to Abe. The space was sunny and big enough for strawberries, and the plants\u2014pretty, green, and neat\u00AD\u2014would look great in front of his Westchester neighborhood house. So he cleared and leveled the slightly sloped yard, mail-ordered bare-root plants, and started planting.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
