I was watching Chelsea last night & saw the living wall. I wondered if it would be possible to do a similar thing with grow pouches & what would grow well in them. There was a flowering pac choi & the flowers were edible. Did anyone catch the name of it please.

Didn't see it but all brassica flowers are edible... including pak choi(s) :)
Didn't see the programme - weeding at lottie! How about iPlayer?

One of the plants looked a bit like a climbing lettuce or leaf spinach?
Here's a link to suggested plants but I don't think it includes everything we saw

The iplayer is here - the wall of veg is near the beginning

Thanks. I think I will give it a try. Sow a few salad seeds in modules & plant it up & see what happens.
