Planting Herbs (and more)

Because of my lack of time this week, you're getting yet another plant post.

We don't have a good place to put in a garden (not enough sun in the backyard), so this year I'm growing a few herbs and veggies in containers in the front instead.

I started things out last night by potting some herbs. The big one in the middle—basil—came from the farmer's market. The other two (both parsley—I meant to buy an oregano but flaked out) were from the greenhouse.


I also bought this Big Boy tomato plant at the farmer's market.

It's going to make for some delicious BLTs later this summer.

What else should I plant in containers? Any ideas? I'm up for suggestions!

I think bell peppers and hot peppers can do well in pots.

Ooh yes. I was thinking bell peppers would be good. I've also read that certain types of cucumbers, squash, and lettuce would work so may try those.
