The message
from prof contains these words:

Thanks for your thoughts on my little query Although veg would be a good
idea they would not look all that pretty from our living room window and
I do fancy the scented geraniams Thanks its geven me food for thought.

Then think of tomatoes, various cabbage and lettuce types, Cape
gooseberries, runner beans, chillies, etc.

Some years ago I erected a cage of bamboos over my front path (at a
different house) and grew runners, trailing marrows, a pink-flowered
radish which makes edible pods, and cucumbers up it, with tomatoes, cape
gooseberries and nasturtiums underneath.

It really looked quite decorative. Now, my front garden is graced by a
stand of extremely well-nourished rhubarb, and a Jerusalem artichoke has
appeared and taken up residence nearby. I think that will disappear, as
I've enough of those in the back, and this year some of them grew over
ten feet. (And had silly little sunflowers on top, which I have never
seen before.)
