I love planting all sorts of things in my main veggie garden. There are lots of benefits, and it looks beautiful. I only plant eatable plants.
I'm lousy at marking what I have planted. I write it all down, so I can keep track of when things were planted, varieties I liked, or didn't, but in the garden I often don't label anything. It's not a big deal for me, because I planted it, I recognize a lot of plants by leaf, or what it looks like. Unfortunately this is not the case for my kids.
I was talking with my daughter the other day, and she decides what she is going to pick and eat, by tasting stuff. (they have been around gardening long enough to recognize a tomato plant, so you don't have to worry about them eating those) I just thought it was funny she just nibbles her was through the garden.
It also made me grateful everything in the garden including flowers are eatable.
