Edible plants can be ornamental too.

I’m thinking of stuff like nasturtiums, which, apparently, go great with salads. And pansy flowers are edible too, as are roses. Maybe they won’t give you as many calories per square foot of soil as your tomatoes and corn, but they’re still worth the space, I reckon.

that pepper plants, hot pepper plants in particular, should be considered ornamental. I don’t know how I’m going to eat all the peppers we have growing this year, unless I pickle some.

The two hot pepper plants I have have fallen over, full of underripe fruit. We’ve had tons of rain and only a few sunny days, so it was a long wait for even the tomatoes to ripen. Not a lot of red around here.

you can plant them in designs just like any ornamental plants.

I like sage as a border plant, rosemary and lavender for color and foliage.

Thyme grows in the rocks, and strawberries too.
