Okay, so I gave my son a seed catalog and some sticky notes and a pen to pick out what he wants in his garden this year. So far, he's picked out rutabegas and sun ball flowers. I know nothing about either of them!
I did a search for Craspedia and permaculture and didn't really encounter anything. Are the flowers edible? Do they attract bees? Are there benefits to these perennial flowers? Would they be benificial for an apple tree, or in a garden bed, or by themselves?
Any help is much appreciated!
