Edible Ideas For Landscaping

By Darren Hartley


Miniatures and dwarfs as part of edible landscaping ideas grow just 4 to 5 feet tall. They are perfect for growing inside large pots or whiskey barrels. Rhubarb, on the other hand, is so pretty that it would be a shame to relegate it to a vegetable garden.

As part of good-tasting edible landscaping ideas, strawberries are planted in long rows, one or two plants deep, alongside the edges of flower beds and borders. They can also be use on a sunny slope or an area where a pretty ground cover is warranted.

Edible landscaping ideas that are expensive to buy at the supermarket but a snap to grow at home are raspberries. Concern over having too much of them all at once can be eradicated by planting the ever-bearing type, which only produces from midsummer to frost. They can be planted in an out of the way corner of the yard as they perform well in light to medium shade.

Planting vegetable not only with looks but also flavours in mind is a dictate of edible landscaping ideas. Pretty purple cabbage can be alternated with snowy white cauliflower in a row. Rather than in rows, planting in blocks may be experimented on for a more dramatic effect.

Among the most decorative yet edible landscaping ideas are the rosemary herbs. Available in cleverly shaped topiary, they are best grown in pots or planted directly in the ground.

Brightening salads is one aftermath from the execution of edible landscaping ideas. Edible flowers are all that are required to do the trick. Nasturtiums and violas can be grown in the garden and their petals can be tossed in with lettuce to make a pretty good looking and tasting salad.
