Hi Lisa,

How about chives (they get pretty purple blossoms in spring and reseed 
themselves). Rhubarb chard is pretty, especially if interplanted with the 
regular white and green chard. I think Japanese eggplant with its beautiful 
purple blossoms is pretty too. Keep us posted.

Hello, all...
     
Last week was so slow on the list, I was beginning to wonder. I went out of 
town from Thursday til last night and when I came back I found lots and 
lots of messages with great information. Thanks to you all.
     
I live in the southern part of North Carolina (as a matter of fact I'm three 
miles from S.C.) I've been semi-gardening for a couple of years...meaning, 
I've planted some stuff but haven't done too much of the other stuff needed 
to truly be a gardener.  This is my first year of making an all out effort.  
     
I read Mel's book about a month ago and wanted to put it into practice, but 
it was too late to apply it to my vegetable garden (though I plan to plant 
some extra tomatoes using the vertical method he recommends).
     
I expanded my front flower bed by an extra 10' in width (it's about 40 feet 
long)...I marked off beds using the sq. ft. method, and have planted 
strawberries, herbs and raspberries.  With the Y2K crisis coming down, I'm 
concerned about food shortages and only want to plant edibles...but, at the 
same time, I don't want my front yard to look bad.  The strawberries, herbs 
and raspberries look good, but I still have 2 3'x3' plots and one 4'X4' with 
nothing planted as yet.
     
Does anyone out there have any suggestions for what veggies will not only 
provide food, but look nice while they are growing?
     
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
     
Thanks!
     
Lisa
