I've never mixed my veggies in with my flowers since I have enough room for both here, but I'll have to do that this year if I hope to get any veggies. The only place fenced in at the house in Idaho, is the large veggie garden. I'm probably going to have to park my daylilies in there until I get flower beds made and fenced off so that the critters (deer & rabbits mostly) can't get to them. I can't imagine not having fresh veggies, so I hope the area is large enough for all of it. I also hope we get moved in time to get the garden planted! I've bought tomatoes about 3 times this winter, and thought they tasted horrible. I'm so spoiled by my own home-grown tomatoes. Same with zucchini. I can't stand the tasteless ones from the store! I love the tall fence around the garden, and I'm hoping that I can grow cucumbers up the fence!
