Container growing

Ive decided to let myself in gently and stick to container growing (for 2 reasons - money wise and time wise) for the time being.  Then once I have got the hang of things, I can expand into the garden itself!

Have already planted some garlic cloves (although granted slightly "wrong" time of year!).

Tried to buy stuff at the weekend, but my poundland, Yorkshire Trading, Home Bargains and Wilkinsons hardly had anything in!

Am planning on getting some beetroot - hopefully bolthardy - and some potatoes - hopefully swift for the first earlies.

Can I also grow carrots in a container?  Radishes?

Think I will need to get some more large containers.  Should they be the largest I can find to plant two or more types of veg, or medium size for each veg on their own?

Will also go to a garden centre, perhaps Dobies nearby unless I can find another place cheaper.

Have been trying to find a website dedicated to container growing, but none as good as this one as yet!

you can make a stack of bricks up leave holes for 2 litre milk bottles   bricks to hold em upright  punch a few holes in bottom with a hot 6 inch nail and pliers and grow a cabbage in each feed liquid manure leeks can be done as well . bits of piping from road building etc can be utilised  if you get a 10 inch wide piece few feet long make em into 18 inch pots fill with any old compost and sow carots in or beets  lettuce can go in em . any container wil do  i mentioned polystyrene fish boxes from your chippes and wet fish merchants . you can see a plant pot in a lot of things with a bit of imagination
