There is a wide selection of vegetables that will happily grow in pots and provide you with a fantastic harvest. From small radishes to long cucumbers, from potatoes growing in the soil to tall beans climbing poles, there is such a range of options available for anyone wanting to grow edibles in a vegetable container garden.
During my days as a working kitchen gardener, I mainly grew vegetables outdoors in the ground, but the heat-loving crops such as tomatoes and peppers were grown in pots in the greenhouse. At home, for many years I had a courtyard garden with no beds so I focused solely on growing my vegetables in pots. I experimented with growing as many vegetables as I could in pots in my small space.
