When I volunteered at the SF Victory Garden, I was inspired by this small garden bed, which provided a fun twist on an edible garden. Using scarlet runner beans and rhubarb chard in the bed, the gardeners matched the colors of the two vegetables; the red of the chard stalks matches the red of the blooming bean flowers. While color-coordinating flowers is nothing new, using vegetables as ornament is a very neat idea. The matching colors are eye-catching and pretty, but the fact that these plants are also edible makes them doubly appealing.
For some ideas on coordinating veggie colors, read more.
Try:
- yellow chard and yellow crookneck squash
- red cabbage and Russian kale
- strawberries and rhubarb
- cauliflower and bok choy
- eggplant and purple top white globe turnips
