It's not a bad idea to stick some edibles in with the ornamentals. I've done this in the past very successfully.

I could direct sow some lettuce now, though, I think. It is frustrating not to have enough sunny spaces of veggies, isn't it?

Realistically though, I check mine each year prior to pulling them all. Usually I harvest in late May or even June.
