Edible Plants Provide Both Garden Beauty and Food

Avid gardeners welcome the coming of spring as a time to dig in and get their hands dirty. When it comes to gardening, edible plants from Sears provide a useful and integral part of any landscape or garden. Edible plants are not only beautiful but provide a viable crop for both the home and commercial garden.

For any gardener, tomatoes are traditionally the most popular type of edible plant. Tomatoes are easy to grow, thriving in both containers, raised beds and large, open garden areas. Tomatoes are bred to adapt to specific conditions and be resistant to diseases that are rampant in certain growing environments, making garden pesticides less necessary. Most tomatoes can be designated in one of two categories: either determinate or indeterminate plants. Determinate tomato plants grow in a more compact manner and are ideal for smaller gardens and containers. Indeterminate plants vine and spread, making them ideal for garden areas where there is plenty of room. Indeterminate tomato plants, however, can even thrive in a container by directing their growth upward. Tomatoes come in various shapes, sizes and flavors. Some people prefer the intense flavors and high yields of cherry or grape tomatoes, while other gardeners need an early-crop tomato variety to account for a short growing season. Heirloom tomatoes are also increasingly popular with organic gardeners.

Besides tomatoes, many shoppers at Sears garden center also enjoy growing and caring for edible plants of a more permanent nature. Fruit trees are planted once and can continue to produce a crop of edible food for years. Keep in mind that most fruit trees take several years of care and maintenance before a consistent crop is produced. Depending on the climate of the garden, there are several ideal fruit trees. Warmer gardens can support tropical fruit trees such as citrus. Colder climates provide ideal conditions for hardy trees such as apples or pears. Most moderate areas can successfully produce crops of peaches, apricots and plums with proper management. Fruit trees are some of the most expensive edible plants; however, they are also a one-time investment with extended rewards at harvest time.

For gardening aficionados who do not have a lot of space, Sears still offers options for those who wish to indulge a green thumb. Some of the most widely-grown container plants are nursery herbs. Herbs can grow in any indoor environment with adequate light and heat. They thrive in windowsills and other well-lit areas. Even people without a lot of natural light can nurture herbs in portable greenhouses or with supplemental lighting. Unlike outdoor garden plants, these useful edibles can be maintained year-round.
