What's going on everyone? Welcome back. Today I have a great question from my friend Tony who I've talked to over email a few times so hey Tony how's it going man now the question is this what are some plants that I can use in my landscaping?

I want them to be beautiful plants.

They need to have that aesthetic appeal that we would grow a plant for when we are going

to use it for landscaping, but I want them to be

edible. I want them to produce some kind of food that I can use so that I don't feel like I'm just wasting my growing space because if I'm just doing

ornamental landscaping, not that there's anything wrong with that, you are not producing

something to consume off of that land, right?

And so Tony's question is that.

Now, let's go ahead.

I'm going to go over a few plants that you may want to consider.

And the first one is one of my favorites.

It is the Almighty Artichoke.

Artichokes are amazing.

Number one, animals don't really attack them too much because the leaves are a bit prickly.

And as long as your artichoke flowers are growing off the ground, nothing should really touch them.

And here's the thing with artichokes.

They have one of the most beautiful flowers of any edible plant you'll ever see.

It's this bright pink explosion that comes out of the artichoke.

Now for Tony if he wants he could grow an artichoke

ornamentally and let them go to flower and they're absolutely beautiful. It's

going to be a perennial plant so it is going to come back year after year as long as

you take care of it.
