TD - The only way I was able to have a veggie garden on our patio in Fla. last winter was to put trellis's in or next to big ceramic pots. I did cukes & beans that way with morning glories threaded through the beans. I did tomatoes in pots without the trellis, but I may try doing some viney tomatoes this winter with the seeds I've just collected from the yellow Russian azoychka tomatoes I had good luck with this summer.

What does your wife stuff the zukes with? I never know what to do with zucchini.

Here's a pic of my patio veggie garden last winter. You can see the beans and morning glories on the white lattice trellis, the terra cotta low pot of mesculin greens and the sunflowers that reached 8 feet. The tomatoes and cukes aren't visible here. It was such fun to have my very first winter veggie garden..........until a big black snake decided he liked it too. eek!
