I was looking into just this sort of thing a couple months ago and decided to just plant some vegetables in pots. I had never done that before because I had the wherwithal to garden. But this has worked pretty well with minimal trouble. It gave me the opportunity to get early starts by buying plants (tomatoes and green peppers), and then planting squash and zucchini. That's all I have this year because I knew the two squashes were prolific with few plants and I didn't know how well it would work. But in the beginning when it was cold at night I would just bring them inside. Now of course I don't need to do that. I have lots of tomatoes right now and will be interested in seeing how long I can keep the plants producing. The green peppers have lots of small ones on now; likewise the squash, so things are just starting. Basically got a head start and plowed nothing. I'll do more next year.
