As more and more people look to grow their own vegetables and herbs, a question arises: Where to grow them? While a corner of the backyard has been the traditional spot, what do you do if your only sunny spot is in your flower garden, along the driveway or in the middle of the front yard?

Fortunately, people are discovering that edible plants are beautiful in their own right and deserve to be the star of the landscape show. As a result, vegetables are growing right alongside their ornamental cousins — even crowding them out to take over as the main landscape feature.
It’s an old idea whose time has come again. Edibles were an essential part of the original English and American cottage gardens and the point of the French potager (kitchen garden). Today you’ll often find vegetables, fruits and herbs in both public and private landscapes all over the world.
