I'm a little stapped for room in my Garden , especially as only part of
it gets plenty of sun.

However I want to grow some vege's this year .

I was thinking of growing some in pots , what grows well in pots , how
big do the pots need to be ?

I will be interplanting some vege's in the borders and have already got
some Garlic and Onions that are overwintering .

Most veg can be grown in pots or troughs and you
can also grow potatoes in old compost bags roll the bag down put
a deep lair of compost with three chitted potatoes spread on top cover
with more compost, when you have growth cover with more compost
just leaving the top leafs showing, as you get more growth keep
topping up.
Water and feed on a regular basis.
If you know someone with an allotment ask if you can have some Salad
seed potatoes as a bag will be too many for just one compost bag.
