Who has a few veggies tucked in their flower beds? My mom always
sneaks a container with a tomato plant into her side yard. She grows
a bush variety so it doesn't take up too much space. It gets watered
by the sprinklers automatically so she doesn't have to worry about it.

I've got a pepper growing in a side plot too. You don't notice it's a
veggie until the peppers start turning colors. I've also got culinary
sage growing, it has beautiful blue flowers in the spring too.

Who else is 'breaking the rules'? What are you growing?

I like to tuck herbs and edible* ornamental peppers in my container
arrangements.

The only edibles in my flower beds (these days) are the daylilies.

But I do grow my giant zinnias (for cutting) in one of the beds of
the veggie garden, as that's the only place they are protected from
the local herbivores, who have demonstrated in the past that zinnias
are on their "to be eaten first" list.

*Not by everyone's standard. They are hot, hot, HOT
