This is timely - am taking a break from trying to get the garden ready for planting the summer-y things and doing so much weeding....curse you grass! In the category of easy/rewarding I'd add... Borage - the flowers are cute and tasty and it grows very easily and bees like it - if nothing else grows you can at least harvest borage flowers for your beverages and salads and feel successful! They taste like cucumbers. Shungiku/chrysanthemum greens/crown daisy - these are so frickin' good thrown into soup or sauteed and served with noodles mmmmmmm (Homer Simpson drool noise) noodles...., plus they flower and are pretty. Finally the terribly named 'Rat Tail Radish' - these are radishes you grow for their pods! Any radish plant can be left to flower and will produce pods I think, but the Rat Tail Radish grows very long noodle-y looking pods which are fun.
