Edible Ideas For Landscaping

By Darren Hartley


Money does grow on trees. Not only on trees though but also on bushes and vines and groundcovers as well. Edible landscaping ideas make saving money looking and tasting so good. They include landscaping with fruit trees and shrubs. Miniatures and dwarfs can be alternatives to full sized fruit trees should room be not available.

Strawberries are edible landscaping ideas that cover themselves with white flowers in springtime and with leaves turning a rich russet during the fall season. Meanwhile, blueberry and currant bushes are pretty enough for use as decorative shrubs. The assurance of harvesting plenty of fruit can be achieved by planting a whole hedge of these bushes.

Edible landscaping ideas grow short vining-type vegetables up trellises along the back of flower borders. Fungal disease problems can be overcome by plants that can be trained to grow vertically. Such plants include melons, cucumbers and zucchini.

Attractive plant mixtures from edible landscaping ideas include hot peppers ripen to rich colors and annual flowers including marigolds and vinca. Better than they do in traditional vegetable gardens, tomatoes grow better in flower beds. This can be attributed to the fact that they should be moved to a different spot from year to year for disease prevention. Such movement is not so feasible on a vegetable patch where space is often limited.

Fairly decorative but edible landscaping ideas include pole beans with their attractive heat-shape leaves. They are best planted on arbors, along fences and on any trellis. The gorgeous fall color of some varieties of mustard greens and kales lend themselves ideal for tucking into containers and borders for the provision of color late in the year.

Keeping tomatoes isolated from other tomato plants are edible landscaping ideas that prevent diseases from easily hoping from one plant to the other. Deep red and purple lettuces make great edging plants. They are better planted in a row along the front of a flower bed or border. There is no point in letting a little shade deter a homeowner from planting vegetables.
