Creeping Thyme

Thyme is a versatile, fragrant, and delicious herb that tastes amazing in many dishes. It also happens to be quite stunning, making it an excellent choice for your edible landscape.

It tends to grow low to the ground, making dense clumps of ground cover that produce pinkish, purplish, and whitish flowers that will entirely cover the soil.

A good idea would be to pick the leaves and let them dry out to use for seasoning in your foods or to create a home-grown herbal tea!

Peppers

Many edible pepper species, including hot peppers, are sold as ornamental plants. The fruits provide attractive pops of color in your edible landscape as they grow from green to red, yellow, orange, or purple.

A few even turn to a chocolate or white color. Growing peppers in your garden do pose a problem, though: The leaves are more attractive to animals than the fruits. Young transplants seem to be particularly helpless.

But once the stems strengthen, the damage becomes minimal. Bearing this in mind, we recommend waiting until the plants are about 6 inches tall before you plant them in the open.
