any tips for rain and outdoor plants in containers ?
Most of my pots are next to the house/shed/wall and I find this helps shelter them from the worst of the elements

Has anyone planted a decorative garden only with edibles?
Sunflower seeds make quite nice microgreens, I used ones for birdseed, much cheaper! Batchelors dried peas are the best for pea shoots.
