Hi here's two more decorative edibles (I just ran across) that I'd like to try:

Tetragonolobus purpurea (asparagus / winged pea) pods sauteed like pod peas or string beans.... or asparagus :)

From what I can gather like warms weather and full sun in fertile to infertile soil.... pick pods when small.... Has pretty (interesting) "brick" red flowers..... Grows like a green bean (twiggy)

Trapapogon porifolius salsify - roots used like parsnips in sops and stews.....

Pretty purple flowers supposed to be very easy to grow.....
