Vegetable Gardening

[mudmucker]

As I said in the previous response is that you can grow just about any vegetable in a container. However what might be the driver for you over anything else is how much dedicated space you have. How many containers/pots can you fit into your space. If it is limited, then you need to think on how best to maximize the effort. For example, maybe it wouldn't make sense to grow eggplant or squash since you'd get few items for the space and amount of time the plant takes to grow in that space just doesn't make it efficient. So, things like tomatoes and cucumbers would be good because you get many, and they are typically prolific. String beans grown vertically (pole beans) would be good because you get many. Lettuce, chard and other greens are always good - they grow quickly and you can continue picking up to a point. On the other hand, maybe lettuce isn't so good if you have limited space because you might take all the time and energy to grow, but devour it in one meal because you don't have enough space to grow enough -that's not too efficient either. I don't really know what specific and compact varieties might be available for Australia climates and conditions either, that's why I say to try to hit a few in-country seed web sites. There may be a lot of diiferent things you guys got that we don't have here.
