Advice on front yard edible garden

We're in the process of building a house and I'm starting to think about the small front yard. I like vegetable gardening but won't have the space for a big garden and the front yard is where the sun will be. So my plan is to create a front yard garden thats 80% edible and 80% perennial. I'm in zone 5 and it does get cold over the winters and the growing season is a bit short so having perennials is helpful.

My goal is to create something that looks reasonably nice, but that is still edible. Don't know if its readable but I've mocked up a layout below.



Ignore the colors of various things in the picture -- its just to keep things separate.


Would love any advice, critiques, or stories from people who have done something similar.
