Edible plants to help define/mark out growing areas & paths - recommendations?

[Samuel1988]

Afternoon all,

I was just wondering if there are any edible plants in which I can plant around a crop growing area which will help define that area?

Could I use chives, lavender to do this?

Any other recommendations?

Top points if it is present all year round (at least visible :P) and if it is easily manageable (as to say does not get out of control).

Thank you for your help,

Samuel

Lavender is excellent, it's evergreen, you can keep it trimmed low, the flowers will attract lots of pollinators for your crops, and if you are patient, you can create an entire hedge from one plant by taking lots of cuttings.

Chives are good, and the bees love the flowers. However, they do die back during the winter.

Thyme may also be suitable. Lots of varieties to choose from - or mix and match in your border.

Sorrel is good.
You can also get a red version but I believe it's rather tough to eat. Looks pretty though!

Oh, and of course perpetual spinach
