I think almost all plants have a special beauty about them even the dandelion is beautiful…and edible. This year I set two large planters with everbearing strawberries which are now in flower.
On the upper deck to the garage I outfitted the terracotta pots with nasturtiums for both their beauty and their edibility…While not in bloom yet, the vibrant flower blossoms have a sweet, spicy flavor similar to watercress.
Also in these terracotta planters are some sunflowers (again not yet in bloom) They are planted for the wild birds to feast on their edible seeds.
And for us, there’s my square foot garden…I have beautified this area with some broken tile pathways and lots of yummy plants…lettuce, spinach, turnip, corn, carrots, radish, tomatoes, peppers, garlic and more.
Updated to show flowers now in bloom…also see edible blooms here.

Very nice indeed. You folks are really giving me incentive to get my edible garden going again. I had a large one at our old place, but this plot of land is so small. And yet, some of you are indeed growing the edibles in small spaces. Good incentive for me.
