I've added quite a few new plants to my edible landscape this year, including flowers, vegetables, herbs, and berries. I like to take photos of my plants in all stages of their growth. I find this especially helpful when they are seedlings and I'm trying to weed! It's interesting to see how the garden changes over time and how the weather can either speed up or slow down growth from year to year.
Here are the new additions to my edible landscape this year.
Vegetables
Trionfo Violetto. This heirloom pole bean has purple flowers and pods.
Scarlet Emperor. This heirloom pole bean has red flowers.
Caraflex cabbage. This cabbage will eventually have a triangular head, poor thing.
Little Gem is a mini romaine lettuce.
Herbs
Lemon Balm
Common Sorrel.
Fruit
Alexandria Alpine Strawberry. I've planted many of these along the front wall to help with my soil erosion problem.
Half bush Blueberry, Top Hat . I needed to add more blueberries to aid pollination.
Jelly Bean Blueberry.
Flowers
Heirloom Lemon Drop Marigold with edible flowers.
Heirloom Lemon/Tangerine Gems Marigold, flowers are also edible.
African Daisy,Cape Marigold.
Heirloom Borage, with blue, star-like edible flowers.
Galaxy Mix Sweet Peas.
Edible Violas, which I paired in containers with Bright Lights Swiss Chard.

Very nice! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to clarify - you can't eat any part of the sweet pea can you?
I'm so inspired to plant some edible flowers - we are possibly moving to a place with a sunny yard, much better for growing anything than our tiny south facing courtyard (we're in Melbourne Oz). I found you through Gavin's podcast and look forward to keeping up with your adventures...
Hi Christie, I'm so happy you found me! Yes, I believe you are right and sweet peas are not edible. I hope you get to plant some edible flowers and experiment with them!
DeleteGreat work
ReplyDeleteToday an entire greenhouse serving of mixed greens can be picked from porch pots and holders, including a wide exhibit of blooms that are both wonderful and eatable. These consumable greenery enclosure blooms were once utilized as a beautification, yet not any longer. Violets, pot marigolds, sunflowers, nasturtiums and cornflowers are among blossoms you can develop alongside other plate of mixed greens fixings on your yard.
