Edible garden borders -- in a regular garden are both attractive and easy to handle. Keeps the bug population to a minium too. For years I had a large garden which had an alternating walkway border of Parsley and Chives. Not only did I have bloom but I was provided with an easy access to freshly cut additions to salads. Chive flowers are globes of lavender, which may be cut to decorate a platter or dried in a bouquet. They will return year after year if cut frequently and not allowed to go to seed, Pretty Pansies planted in the fall bloomed in the spring their blossoms a colorful salad addition. A light covering of salt hay helps with the wintering over. It is not always to confine an occasional onion,chive, or herb in a veggie garden row
