Container Vegetable Gardening

Olympia, WA(Zone 7b)

I'd like to try to plant our garden in containers this year. Does anyone have any suggestions for vegetables (or other food plants) that will grow well in containers? Another problem for us is that much of our property is shaded, so if anyone has recommendations for food plants that grow well with some shade, that would be appreciated, too! Otherwise, maybe if they're in containers, at least I can try to move them to sunny spots. Thanks for your help!

what ever you can grow in the ground usually can go into containers as long as they are big enough for that particular plant. a five gallon container will be good for just about anything you want to grow.

Thanks for all the information. I'm certainly going to try it this year. It HAS to be more successful than our garden last year! I think we can make it work quite well.
