What do you like to grow, but not eat?

[Artichoke Lover]

Does anyone else have vegetables or fruits that they enjoy growing but don’t eat. Maybe you like growing Swiss chard just for the colors or artichokes just for the flowers.
I love growing tomatoes and peppers but rarely eat them I usually end up giving a lot away.

I enjoy growing dill and parsley. I don't eat them... I only grow them for the swallowtail caterpillars to eat.

I grow a lot of flowers for the bees and humming birds.

Ooo are they easy to grow? I’m starting some in the spring this will be my first attempt. I’ll have to plant some extra for the butterflies I didn’t know they liked them!

They are easy to grow! I normally buy a couple from the greenhouses and then sprinkle seeds around those plants. They do great!

That I personally don't like to eat? Habanero peppers. Can't do the hot stuff. That's for hubby.

Dill is fun to grow too. I sprinkle seeds thick and water very gently directly in the garden in early spring.
I like brushing past it and getting that fun smell of pickles.

Bees like herbs like basil. You have to let it flower though which is not what you do if using it in the kitchen.

Tomatoes, peppers, radishes. I grow them for the other members of the family. Although I do eat the spaghetti sauce that I make with the tomatoes

Yes, I would like to grow artichoke just for the flowers. Flowers for the bees. I might take up beekeeping. I also grow beans because they are super easy. It's cute to see the seedlings. I grow gourds because they are pretty. But not to eat.
