I could do tomatoes and such in potted form like NW_AZ suggested and the root plants, ie, potatoes and carrots in place a few flower beds.

This can work....

If you have flower beds, put tomatoes and peppers in them.

The big leaves of Swiss Chard are a lovely tropical plant and they even come with bright colored stems.

I forget the chemical composition in chard, but vitamin A is one, (I think), I like it steamed with butter, or fried with onion and bacon, or in a salad.

Nothing is better than a cheese sandwich, on whole wheat, with mustard and swiss chard.

Here, the cats and i will eat anything that has Safeways own label of Ranch Dressing on it. Yes they eat chard.

Look into the Oriental vegetables.

Save your big coffee cans for pots, 3 holes with a beer can opener will do it, but put the holes on the sides, or all the soil will wash out. ( I have a bunch you can have).
