Has anyone planted a decorative garden only with edibles?
I usually get a few sunflowers come up in the veg area, but nothing really edible, lots of datura.

any tips for rain and outdoor plants in containers ?
A bamboo cane cut into short lengths also works well, using three in a triangle or four in a square. Easily hidden and reused or replaced.
