I use various herbs including sage and thyme as landscape, two dwarf
apple trees and what will someday be a real meyer lemon tree instead
of a bush (small yard). Other than a couple of other things I don't
eat like violas (love them) and butterfly weed, I don't use edible
landscaping. One of these days I'll try growing multicolored chard,
but mainly I want plants that will attract hummingbirds, butterflies
and beneficiary bees.

Sometimes I even put it in the food.
