Selecting what to grow...

          The first thing I am going to do is decide what foods and herbs I want and CAN grow in pots on my patio and sidewalk area. This is important because  most apartments will allow for potted plants but not an actual garden. I have been doing herbs for several years now so I will be adding a few more selections this year.

          The following is the list of both vegetables and herbs I want to grow this year, all of which WILL grow in pots. Given enough sun, water and nutrients most plants will grow just fine.

Vegetables:

• Asparagus (even using the 2 year old root systems I found will not be ready until next year)
• Broccoli
• Brusselsprouts
• Cabbages
• Cucumbers
• Leeks
• Lettuces (various kinds)
• Spinach
• Squashes (bunching versions)
• Tomatoes (various kinds)

Herbs:

• Basil (various kinds)
• Dill
• Garlic (various kinds)
• Mint (various kinds - already have 3 kinds. Mints are perennial.)
• Oregano (various kinds)
• Parsley
• Rosemary
• Sage (various kinds)
• Thyme (various kinds)
