I am going to be lazy and I'll refer you to one of the best website I
know about the subject.

I have grown any kind of veg in any kind of containers for years. I've
had successes and I've had horrors. I got the bug when I lived on the
12th floor and only had a balcony. The strangest the container, the
happier it makes me feel. Last year I tried cucumbers in a rubber vase.
It was perfect because they needed a lot of water and the container was
just perfect for it. It is the easiest way of growing I think, since
you can move them about, some are very decorative, and pest is less
likely to get at them too. I use copper sticking tape for some of my
containers for the slugs. You need lots of air around them too. Think
about how much water the veg you want to grow need, mulch well on top
to keep moisture in and start all your pots with the best drainage you
can do. A good start gives you the best veg. Don't over crowd your
plants or sow too many seeds. Do as much thining has you can when it
gets too crowded. Successional sowing of peas in your pots is better
than sowing too many the first time around. So leave some space (10 to
15cm apart). You can grow anything you want, but think of the depth of
your pots. Finally your compost. I make mixes most of the time because
I've got stuff left at the bottom of bags, home compost ... but I use
lots of manure. So try to imagine your pots as little plots of land and
use plenty of comfrey juice to feed the hungry ones )
