Best edimentals to grow in eastern states – crops that can handle the range of temperatures and humidity that are ever-present along the East Coast

Hands holding freshly harvested asparagus spears.

If you love the idea of having fresh veg ready for the grill or picking your own plump juicy berries to top your morning yogurt, growing your own fruits and vegetables is the ultimate in flexibility. Your home doesn’t have to look farm-like either, thanks to crops we call edimentals.

The East Coast has a cornucopia of edible crops that also look right at home tucked in with your ornamental plantings. Plant some leafy greens among your perennials and your neighbors will be none the wiser. Meanwhile you’ll have fresh and nutritious meals with fewer trips to the store.
