I've never grown fruits and veggies before and am interested in giving it a try. Is there a thread that has already discussed this? If not, is it possible to grow veggies and fruits in containers? I could sure use some helpful advice.

I am interested in growing Snap Peas, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, watermelon, cantalope, cucumbers, Sweet Peppers, Eggplant, Hardy Kiwi, strawberries, lettuce, and sweet yellow corn. I have numerous 5 gallon white plastic containers that I could grow these plants in. Though not sure if they would grow in containers or if my containers are too big or too small.

Would appreciate any suggestions and links on growing veggies and fruit in containers if it is indeed possible. Thanks so much!
