It’s an old fire guard that’s ear marked for the tip but I’m wondering if I can hang it from my fence, into my planter and grow some peas on it?

Are the holes too small and I’d end up with a matted mess that I have to pick out when they die off- this happened years ago but I planted about 20 peas in a small space and it went mad!

Now Ive sowed 6 peas in the hope that I’ll get 4 plants and I can keep on top of the maintenance so maybe it won’t be too bad?

What does everyone think?

Hope this isn’t a really stupid question, I’m not in an allotment but I made a couple of large raised beds in my garden and this is my first stab at growing a few things and getting the kids a bit more interested in food- vegetables in particular!

Hello, I’m new here, just joined.

I’ve built a large planter in my garden with the aim to teach my kids more about food and just because it’s interesting!

In the process I’ve discovered a few herbs and other edible plants and I’m wondering if anyone k owls what the plant in the photo is and whether the flowers are edible?
