Often times we forget the vegetables are just as pretty as flowering plants but they are more functional. What can you do with a daisy besides admire it? Sure its nice, don't get me wrong I do love flowers and enjoy having fresh flowers around during the summer but vegetables are great because they can multitask. I'm all about multitasking. If a plant can provide me with dinner and be beautiful I'm all the happier.
Take a pepper for example. This is a heritage pepper; an Aurora Pepper. It's a spicy pepper that starts off purple then brightens to a deep red color.
Before - Pretty flowers; nice to admire
After - functional peppers; that will end up on my dinner plate.
I love it. Beauty meets function. Nature never ceases to amaze me.
