Default Flowers in a vegetable patch

Hi

I have made a few raised beds for a vegetable garden, and am looking at
creating a border to hide the fence/wall around the bottom of my garden.
Perhaps using trellis.

Is there any recommended plants/flowers I could use- or any to
particularly avoid when planting next to vegetables/fruit.

Thanks


You could try a few nasturtiums. They grow fast to make a good screen
(on a trellis), are drought-resistant, good to look at, and you can eat
the leaves and flowers (check for blackfly first!).
