They taste like bellybutton though. I like eating ants and spiders a lot better.

 I grow a substantial garden every summer but I rarely grow anything you can eat.  Maybe a tomato or 2 but thats it.

  I prefer to grow flowers,that attract hummingbirds. the rest I cant comment on.

Actually Crabgrass is edible... It is a wilderness survival food that you can even prepare in the kitchen. You can even cook it like spinach or sautee in a pan with some olive oil...

Not kidding...

I forgot green beans

I'll have cantaloupe but their not in garden...

I had a severe rabbit problem last spring  :bhead and I didn't remedy it over rabbit season...they destroyed my lettuce and broccoli and ate my spices...(we need a smiley with a gun) their days are numbered...

My wife thought we needed a bigger garden...as if we didn't get enough veggies out of the garden last year when it was 2700sqft...

Now its a little more than 4500sqft...I've been picking grass for two weeks, the rain has hampered my efforts as well...I'll have it planted once the monsoon season stops and it dries up sometime around July...

Living in this river bottom makes for great gardens but a heavy dew will make water stand on the ground for 2 days  :O

Puller

There is also rabbit fence which is about 30" feet high.  I have used it with those cheap drive in the ground metal stakes.
