I am also in the Seattle area, I put up a site last month about gardening in the parking strip. I love interplanting food crops and flowers, since as you said it spices it up visually and also works for the beneficials. Look forward to reading more of your posts!

Good question. I usually plant zinnias in rows in my beds between vegetable crops. I typically plant them by seed. I lined my garden pathway with nasturtiums and I bought some johnny jump up seedlings and just tucked them here and there, wherever I though a bit of color could be nice. Most of the flower seed grow best in warmer soil, so I plant them in my climate in early June. Hi, Amy! Good question. I usually plant zinnias in rows in my beds between vegetable crops.

And when do you plant them? Sorry - im a novice! so do you just throw the seeds anywhere or how do you space with flower seeds with the vegi seeds? And when do you plant them? Sorry – im a novice!

I also grow flowers in my kitchen garden - for the same reasons. I add salvia, spring bulbs, purple coneflower, asters, and black-eyed susans to the mix because sometimes the perennials are easy to take care of. Also, the bees love my Anise Hyssop, the bumble bees are all over it. Thanks for the pretty pictures!!! Great vase idea! I also grow flowers in my kitchen garden – for the same reasons.
