Thanks for making this great point! My only rule is be true to yourself ( and your family, dogs, and cats!!) My husband thought I was one of a kind for mixing my veggies into the sunny flower gardens, but now he gets it. I especially love that as the summer heats up, my lettuces still thrive under the tall flower plants, allowing us to keep harvesting free salad greens. Visitors don't see the individual tomato, artichoke, eggplant, and pepper plants standing alone in soil... they just see a riot of colorful flowers layered by height from front to back. Rhubarb and vining cukes and squash are great end anchors, with their distinctly different shapes and sizes. I also love keeping my herbs tucked in along the front! The chives are a great visual contrast and the lemon balm (kept pinched back every now and then) has repelled insect pests. Every spring, the adventure begins with strawberry plants and intermingled buttercups blooms at first, and then takes off to so much more. It's a constantly changing picture with delicious surprises tucked in!!
