A wonderful way to add pops of color, varieties of height and interest to your herb and vegetable gardens is to add edible flowers!

Besides the edible Beach Rose (!) in the middle of the picture above, near her right leg are some red nasturtium, and near her left leg, some yellow ones.  And of course sunflowers in the back of the raised bed.

Here are just some of the flowers you may want to include in the plan of your garden this year:

• Yellow Gem Marigolds
• Nasturtiums
• Sunflowers
• Violets
• Day Lilies
• Pansies
• Roses
• Tulips
• Chamomile

Just to name a few!  Check out the list of varieties of edible flowers available on this site .
