Beautiful Bounty

I set out to landscaping with edibles with a willing husband in tow. We planted blueberry bushes in front of the house where other ornamental shrubs would have gone, and rows of fruit trees near the driveway. Neat raised beds of vegetables greet people as they park, and thornless blackberry bushes and a variety of herbs surround the doorway. They are all placed as I would place any flowers I may have had, and look just as wonderful to me. The garlic chives are in full blossom right now. A flower is a flower, even on an herb plant. The apple mint is blooming too, in lovely lavender.
