Herbs and veggies can be included in general garden areas, many have attractive flowers and foliage so they look at home in amongst other plants. 

We've listed a few edibles to plant in Autumn in Australia's temperate zone:

Vegetables include broccoli, lettuce, onion, leek, broad beans, peas, spinach, silverbeet, spring onion, carrots, globe artichokes and turnip.
