you know, farmers will always keep their veggie gardens utilitarian but farmer wannabes and surburbanites like me see nothing wrong w/ prettying up their veggie gardens. A nearby nursery has decorated the veggie area with the prettiest ironware you've every seen as a way to grow beans, cukes, etc. In one bed they installed what was an old gate (a rose trellis would work too) and it was awesome. I have made a mental note of it and have my eyes peeled for an old gate on freecycle or craigslist, for when I redo my veggie bed(s).

This one doesn't quite illustrate the wrought ironware I saw, but see how the designed the lower tier? they had marygolds planted as bug deterrent for veggies in higher tier.
