I've got a reasonable patch of ground at the back here which is just lawn and pond and trees and a bit of a mess most of the time, although we do get apples, pears and raspberries.
I would love to have a bit of it just to grow veggies, but so far my nagging has fallen on deaf ears - aside from a few little onions that 'Im Indoors planted in the flowerbed at the front, among the sweet peas and the pansies! The onions were lovely though, even if there were only half a dozen of them.
