My 5 year old and I planted a “rainbow garden” this year. We have sections for each color, including flowers to mark the change to a new color. We’ve got a lot of weird stuff in there, like tomatoes that are supposed to be white, pink, zebra… plus sone more classic variations like three color beans, rainbow carrots, rainbow chard, and all the colors of peppers.

We’re temporarily missing part of our fence, so now I have to harvest things a bit quicker to save them from the bunnies (presumably – everything else can climb the fence and has left things alone in prior years). They’ve really done a number on my larger tomatoes. 🙁

Unfortunately most of the flowers didn’t turn out well, either didn’t grow at all or ended up 6 feet tall and getting destroyed in a storm. I’ll plan that part better next year.
