Can you please recommend a crop to grow this summer for a winter in
containers?


Looks like you're in Houston? Check with the Harris County Extension
Service. They've got a planting calendar on
http://harris-tx.tamu.edu/hort/pubs/vegherb.htm . You may have to
decide for yourself what you can grow in containers, however; leafy
things are usually good, but root crops could take some big containers.

FWIW, there's an Extension Office in every county in Texas. They can be
a great source of local information on soil types, planting dates, etc.

And they will mail you packets of info. :-)
