When we still owned our farm we not only had an amazing garden and livestock but an abundance of wild edible plants growing on the land. Since my spinal cord injury the idea of wrestling a 130 lb. lamb makes me cringe but I still want to use the land we have to expand the sources of food I grow. And edible landscaping can be very attractive.

Love the idea of edible landscaping. This year, we really want to grow our own garlic (or course, I’ll have to wait until Falls arrives before I can do that). We have an apple tree, some wild raspberry bushes and some blueberry bushes. We also have tons of day lilies which I was super excited to learn were edible a couple of years ago (they really beautify a salad!). Asparagus? Yum! I never thought of planting those.

Asparagus is one of the plants you have to wait to produce but we love it so it’s worth it. I’m torn between planting this year or waiting to see if we’re going to be staying here. Argh!

This year, I’ve got lavender, oregano, parsley, peppermint, purple basil, tomatoes, and cucumbers growing! I especially love the fragrant herbs. 😊

You’re so right about the scent of herbs! When I brush against the rosemary I have growing in the house it thrills me!

Thank you! I love the thought of getting a bunch of food from my own land. It reminds me of when I still had my farm.

If I could do my landscape like that I’d be in heaven. But anything that feeds us and saves money is cool with me!

I actually am more functional. But when I win a huge lottery I’ll have the gardener do something elegant! LOL

Wonderful idea and look amazing!! I have only balcons for salads greens and tomatos 🙂 I tryed strawberries as well, but something they did not like.

Thank you! I’m surprised the strawberries didn’t grow. They usually go crazy. Mine are taking over the entire west side of my garden.
