I like to tuck herbs and edible* ornamental peppers in my container 
arrangements. 

The only edibles in my flower beds (these days) are the daylilies.

But I do grow my giant zinnias (for cutting) in one of the beds of
the veggie garden, as that's the only place they are protected from
the local herbivores, who have demonstrated in the past that zinnias
are on their "to be eaten first" list.

*Not by everyone's standard.  They are hot, hot, HOT
