Planting veggies and fruits next to the house OK?

Forgive me if this has already been explored. My forum search results weren't successful.

I have a huge empty bed on the South/West side of my house. It's the "back" so I'm not too interested in pretty foundation shrubs.

Are there health or house concerns in doing this? We built the house 4 years ago. The previous house was torn down... and it was originally built in the '60s.

Our basement is very dry, with a pump and a French drain.

I'm open to a raised-bed, but I laid cardboard last year, and now the soil is really nice.

Thanks so much!!!

Al
