Container gardening works great and you should be able to improvise containers. They make special varieties of vegetables and fruit trees to grow in containers. You are only limited by your imagination. Carrots tomatoes, radishes, Swiss chard, cucumbers and onions are plants I used to grow on a patio. I never could stop gardening even when I was in the city.

All I know is somehow plants have to cross polinate or they won’t grow right. I suspect you have to have a certain number of plants for that to happen. As well as how far apart to plant...how often to water and how much. What to fertilize with....Sheesh this really does get involved. But I want to at least try.

My imagination would be to throw the dirt in, followed by the seed packets, add water and stir...and let the sunshine do the rest. Ha!
