Nothing spring to mind to be honest! What about a different colour/size of tomato?

what about lettuce? you could put them in like you do trailing lobelia, and some in the top, I did try it once and it was quite sucessful, needs plenty of water, could also be quite decorative if you plant different colours or mixed leaf )t'

I think thats a great idea Ali, you could do green and yellow ones and grow them so they are small (pay a fortune for miniature veg) and then the weight would not be too much )t'
