Container gardening how to?
I want to grow my own vegetables for my family. The problem is i live in a townhome with no yard. I know using large containers is best. Last year i grew tomato's and strawberries. I would really like to branch out and try carrots, peas, onions, potato's, garlic?, and lettuce types. Are there any other vegetables or fruits that are suited for containers? Books or websites that will offer pictures and step by step instructions. I also dont have alot of money (3kids in our family) so suggestions on containers that dont cost alot.
thanks
