Timings

This may have been covered already but I can't find it. What I wondered was if there is a when to do what for container gardens. I'm new to this and would appreciate any help.
My first attempt this year was 'mixed' thanks to slugs and rain and getting some timings wrong.
So at the moment I have 8 large empty containers with nothing in them, apart from compost. Still pulling the few remaining carrots and beetroots but everything else is composted. What now and inn the near future?

Hi Chris welcome to the forums    like WG says where are you and are your containers inside or out ?

Containers are all outdoors, some sheltered (nice west facing wall) some more exposed and I'm in South Cheshire.
As to carrots did very well this year apart from some very strange black stains on the skins, I assume it's because I planted too close. I thought parsnips were difficult to grow? Beetroot did great and apart from that I had poor to no results from - peppers, toms, squash, courgettes (I know they are supposed to be fairly foolproof) and spuds in bags.
Slugs did very well in fact I did consider showing them at one stage!

Sorry wasn't thinking.

So back to my original question, what now?

So back to my original question, what now?

Subject to the size and your willingness to water you can grow almost all veg in containers.
In some garden centres they are selling grow bags for lots of veg that most people would not even try.I am not saying buy them they are costly,but pop along to one and see if you can find the bags I mean (I saw them in my local Dobbies)
This will give you the confidence to try to do your own.
They even have bags for runner beans :!:

Every year I use containers and very successfully.

Look up what type of soil each veg likes and fill your container with that mix.
Look for a place thats not always in full sun,and not too windy.

Use stakes if the end product is tall.IE. tommatoes and use a mid season fillip(tomorite is good for lots of veg in containers) during the growing season.

But the most important water well but never flood.
