It sounds like the perfect solution for gardeners with limited space and many vegetables are as attractive as so-called ornamental plants. The real caveat is finding vegetables that can survive outside of a fenced-in vegetable garden fortress. Humans are no alone in their enjoyment of pea tendrils and the luscious scent of tomatoes.
Remove dead or dying vegetable material to the compost pile or chop or break up plants as best you can and turn them under so that beneficial soil organisms can begin the process of breaking down organic material and returning it to the soil. Use a sharp bladed spade, machete, or tiller to chop debris into pieces.
Dig in the compost and any needed fertilizer. Now you are ready to divide the plant, if need be, with a sharp knife or spade after cleaning the roots to ascertain division location. Also, if root bound, break up the root ball or make vertical cuts to assist the plants root system in spreading.
Plan to create a few vegetable beds each year, expanding as you become confident and find the timesaving shortcuts that work for you. Defining good paths (using materials such as woodchip and weed suppressant fabric) will pay back many times over in the time saved maintaining them.
