Can anyone recommend an edible perennial plant that grows fairly tall and wide?

[Rochelle]

Hello

I recently got an allotment and moved house and am
aiming to make my small garden entirely edible. I don't know very much about veg and fruit growing but I'm so excited about learning.

Our front garden is currently shielded from the road by a big bush and I'd like to replace it with something edible (actually I'd like to replace it with a row of compost bins but my boyfriend won't let me).

Can anyone recommend something that'll grow about 2 foot tall and wide? Basically like a bush but edible.

Thanks,

Rochelle

globe artichoke?

Oh. I was going to plant that anyway next to the current non-edible bush. I didn't realise it got bushy though!? I'll look at some photos on google. Thanks.

[Glutton4...]

Blackberries and Raspberries?

No, forget that, anyone passing would nick 'em!

Have you tried these? Are they good? I love cauliflower - these look great!

I've grown them. Dead easy to grow but a very short lived perennial (maybe 3 years) mine lasted two years then got too leggy so I pulled them out and fed them to the chooks!

Rhubarb, Seakale,Cardoon, Rosemary, Bay,dwarf apple,strawberry barrel? 9 star perenniial cauli's are not a 'pretty' plant and Walking stick kale which grows for a simiar amount of time (2 to 3 years) can reach about 12 foot tall!

Globe artichokes also look gorgeous when they've gone to seed. A really vibrant, bright purple.
