This year try tomatoes, peppers, lettuce and cucumber. Its not too
late to sow but maybe buy tomato, pepper and cucumber plants to get
you going. Buy big pots. Buy any multipurpose compost. Water plenty
and use a bit of feed when the plants are a decent size (a couple of
feet tall for toms and cucumbers). They'll need staking and training
too.
Lettuce are easy but beware slugs.
There is no way you will feed adults for the whole growing season from
containers. Container veg growing is fun and decorative but not a
practical way to fill your larder.
Just give it a go and read up on what you are doing and you'll learn
as you go.


and don't book any holidays or cruises unless you have VERY good neighbours
to do your watering :-))
