Strawberries! I have my hanging basket with strawberries by the front door, and it is nice to be 'greeted' by bright red berry when I come home. I have a 'perpetual' variety, and I had strawberries well into October last year.

Nasturtiums, the young leaves add a nice peppery flavour to salads. All very easy to grow, plus have read the seeds can be pickled like capers, but never done this

how about a herb basket containg say chives, tyme, rosemary, sage and mint as fillers. A lemon scented geranium as a center.nasturtiums hanging from the sides.Edible and colourfull

Cranberries need very acid soil, so have to be grown in containers. But they trail quite nicely, and some varieties have lovely Autumn foliage too.

These are the ones I have got - and they taste amazing! Have a bit of that woodland strawberry taste, I think.

I had success last year with cherry tumbling tomatoes plus a selection of basils. I then put nasturtiums around the edge to trail down further. They produced so many tomatoes it was unbelievable.
