It's called guerilla gardening and there's loads of info. People even planting in public parks going unnoticed.
I know a few people who live in apartments and do their stealth gardening that way.

One of the food plants I came across is called "miners lettuce" never tried it but you might find it useful

Its good as a backup to know where you might find some edible plants that you have planted outside your property boundary if your own food suppies run short.

In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

I'd highly recommend this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creating-Forest ... 713&sr=8-1 I've been to Martin's forest garden and it's amazing. You could walk through it and not realise that all around you is food. I tried many foods i'd never had before, or even heard of. The book has mostly perennials and a few biennials. The title of the book may make you think it's all trees but it's divided into layers, from trees to shrubs, right down to ground cover crops.
