Edible Landscaping! Growing Vegetables in Your Flower Bed

[@niputupurnamawati5440]

I have done this kind of gardening as I love planting not only flower but also vegetables as well And I always enjoy doing it🥰

I worked pretty hard (high desert) to get my landscape established. But now I am making a shift toward an edible landscape, which in hindsight seems like a no-brainer. These videos provide great ideas and guidance. I think a combination landscape is best. The flowers and other non-edible (and medicinal) plants have their purpose too in the garden.

[@ModernGardener]

We love to hear this! So many herbs fair well in the high desert. Do you have an issue with wild life munching your goods?

[@jf8461]

@@ModernGardener The two biggest challenges I experience here are the short growing season, and wildlife; namely squirrels, rabbits, rodents, and sometimes birds. Besides physical barriers (which can get costly and cumbersome), I am learning which plants get eaten less 😀. I am constantly learning.

I saw the thumbnail for this video and thought "hey...I recognize that yard!" I love everything Cynthia does.

[@ModernGardener]

Wow, how cool you recognized it! 🥬🥬

It’s really easy I just grow flowers herbs veggies everything everywhere but I am not a NEAT FREAK so colour and produce and smell most I plant can be eaten. Lovely to do a wildflower garden. LOVE gardening it’s a JOY. Great video.

I love the idea of using lettuce as a border plant! So neat!!

[@ModernGardener]

Thanks! It's easy to take some clippings from the outer leaves to use in salad or on burgers, so long as dogs aren't peeing on them! ;-)

I'm in Tooele, I'm itching to get my starts out. If we didn't have so many deer I'd have a front yard neighborhood garden.

[@stephanieking8192]

I live in Magna. Help!!! Where do I start?

[@ModernGardener]

Hello neighbor :D Follow and reach out to Foodscaping Utah. Looks like Millcreek gardens also has an edible landscaping "getting started" guide. foodscapingutah.org/ extension.usu.edu/botanicalcenter/gardens-venues/edible-garden millcreekgardens.com/edible-landscaping-started/

[@maryannbride710]

Such good ideas! Great content!

[@ModernGardener]

Make sure to let us know if you try it out!

[@dorothynnolim7368]

Is the same fertiliser good for both veggies and flowers?

[@ModernGardener]

Generally yes. Fertilizer is a tricky one and deserves its own mini series 😅

[@neverendingharvest6413]

Do you have a green house to start your plants in?
