Growing a food garden means more than just a plot full of vegetables. We've had weeds up the wazoo but some of them are actuallyquite colorful. And the blooms from our veggies have been gorgeous, and in some cases, edible. Here is a collection of pictures from our unexpected flower garden.

| Scarlet Mallow- technically a weed. |

| Little sunflower, can you spot the bee? |
 |
Arugula blooms-
add them to salads for a colorful, peppery, touch. |

in the prehistoric southwest |
