A gardening practice called "foodscaping" is about mixing vegetables with flowers and other ornamentals for a visually appealing garden. It s also a good way to slip in more edibles when you ve run out of growing space for them. Vining sweet potatoes, for example, are beautiful plants with lush, heart-shaped leaves. They grow quickly to fill bare spots and can be used as an annual groundcover. You can plant them at the front of a border or train them to grow up a trellis. Chemicals exuded by cherry tomatoes can help prevent an often deadly rose disease if they re planted near roses. And the tomatoes serve as a visual prelude to the rose hips later in the season. Other possibilities include lining a pathway or border with lettuces.
