Evaluate your vegetable garden plans

As March dawns I am thinking about incorporating edibles into my garden this year. I do maintain a small traditional veg. garden – However, I want to mix more edibles directly into my landscape. I have blueberries as foundation shrubs. What tips do people have to add (mostly annual) edibles without them looking messy throughout the garden?

It's been a few years, but in the Atlanta area I had good success planting a couple of small peach trees with a ground cover of strawberries. This design was quick to produce a huge harvest - and fresh fruit is always popular. The challenge after a few years was the strawberries needed to be replanted, and the harvest of peaches was more than I could handle.
A few trees goes a long way!
