I am slowly working on creating a. Permaculture garden/ food Forest sort of thing and got these large clay drainage pipe sections for free but I'm not sure what would go well planting in them if I'm using them as stationary planters / small raised gardens, looking for perennial edibles preferably, but honestly any and all recommendations are welcome.

I will basically just be filling them with dirt and planting stuff on top. Nothing detailed like filling them with different types of dirt or mulch or stone. Literally just dirt shoveled out of the ground.

Shovel for scale.

That's not the ground I will be getting the soil from, maybe my bad for not mentioning that but I have ground with much higher quality soil nearby in my actual garden. I just haven't moved these there yet since they're heavy.

Do you know any edible perennials that would grow well in a raised pot thing like this?
