Who says veggies can't be ornamentals?

In the first pot I have two sweet peppers, swiss chard, red beets, parsley, basil and one orange/red lantana.
In the second pot I have a celebrity tomato plant(which will probably crowd out everything else by the end of the season), a gold beet, red beets, purple basil, green basil, parsley and a bicolored snapdragon.
Opinions please?

You must like parsley.
Lol. I find oregano trails over the side of the pot nicely, and it has a blueish tinge to it's leaves.

Very unique combinations! I love to grow parsley in pots, too, mostly to watch the Black Swallowtail
caterpillars that crawl on them.
They are so pretty! I'll have to take a photo this year.

Yes, please, more photos M.R.!!!
I am also trying to grow peas in a hanging pot, and pole beans in another hanging pot. I'm hoping the plants don't get so heavy they pull right out of the planters!
