Edible landscaping.A new approach in investing in bountiful gardening versus the wasteful.

Look at most of the Agriculture magazines here in Florida and you will be overwhelmed with news about ornamentals and annuals and perenial to decorate your garden with flowers,shrubs and other ornamentals that have no EDIBLE advantage.I always advocate a productive approach in uerban farming especially during our economic crunch time .People are losing homes ,jobsand business right and left.So why not start a new way of making use of our land to produce food even from flowers and landscaping edible plants.Productive gardening applies methods to help out in enriching the environment and community with a landscape that beautifies and produces food to at the same time. Rather than just spending money on planting inefficient ornamentals and wasteful grass that consumes our water ,soil and financial  resources -without giving us any benefits in return other than images and mirages-why not switch to a more  EDIBLE approach that appeal both to our eye ,nose and mouth at the same .Talk edible scaping and mention the flowers that you can eat like nastaurtium and sunflower.Talk the incredible edible scaping and you mention the grass that you may juice or include in your salad like alfalfa and the story continues as you scroll on into the common sensible and edible botany .There are even plants that you may add to purify the air like the ecodundrums.dig more for edible scaping in the web and you will be amazed!

Bon apetite and happy edible scaping!
