Many herbs and vegetables are suitable for container gardening.
- Most of the culinary herbs, such as chives, rosemary, sage, thyme, parsley, chervil, garlic chives, borage, oregano, marjoram, lemon balm, stevia, and lemon verbena, make great container herbs. Even dill, fennel (although not in the same garden as dill), and French tarragon do well in containers.
- Mint is an herb best suited to container growing as it can be very invasive in a garden.
- As for the vegetables, you may be surprised, with a large enough container, you can grow tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuces, radishes, beans, peas, and I have even seen potatoes grown in containers, but it is a bit of work.
