Default Suitable Veg For Hanging Baskets

Hello Folks,

I have 8 hanging baskets, 3 for strawberries, 4 for tomatoes, 1 for miniature melons, and 1 empty, any advice on something to grow in the last, something different?

Thanks
Danny

Would you go for herbs for your last hanging basket as there are wide selections to go for (either parennial or annual) ? Or flowers to attract beneficial insects ?

I have heard of people putting cut and come again salads in theirs, or perhaps something like pea "half pint" might work? (Only throwing out ideas - never actually done it so don't know if it is actually possible sorry).

Thanks for the ideas, was thinking more from a fruit perspective?

That said I have some 1/2 peas ready to go in my raised bed

Blueberries? (in ericaceous compost, natch!)
