You can successfully cultivate dinner-table vegetables in containers, but there are some that will be a lot more productive than others. For example the cucumber or tomato is often an all star winner when it comes to size and production; while other veggies might only thrive if you give them extra support with trellises or stakes so they grow well up off of ground level where air circulation is better! These are our top 10 of the most productive vegetables to grow in pots: 1. Cucumbers
You can successfully cultivate dinner-table vegetables in containers, but there are some that will be a lot more productive than others.
For example the cucumber or tomato is often an all star winner when it comes to size and production; while other veggies might only thrive if you give them extra support with trellises or stakes so they grow well up off of ground level where air circulation is better!
These are our top 10 of the most productive vegetables to grow in pots:
1. Cucumbers
Cucumbers are known as a “heavy feeder” and require regular watering.
You can grow them in an appropriate size pot (depending on the variety) placed in full sun for quick growth rates of cucumber plants within just months!
2. Beans
Beanstalks are a type of climbing bean that grow upward with little to no support.
They also produce well when grown in pots and can be started near trellises or balconies, where within weeks you will have an “overhanging green wall” covered in beans busily spreading across them!
A sunny place and a pot that is at least 12 inches deep are two things you will need for growing beans.
Beans fix the nitrogen, so most vegetables with high demands of this element should be planted beneath them if possible; however kale or summer savory can also grow along side an abundance of Legumes in smaller pots as well!
3. Lettuces
Cultivating lettuce is a great way to add flavor and nutrients into your diet.
Lettuces are unique crops because they can be harvested time after time throughout the growing season, even if you start them in spring or summer!
As these veggies grow quickly it’s important for harvesting when weather conditions allow it so that all of them have enough sun exposure before frost sets-in.
If living somewhere with warmer temperatures consider planting winter varieties which require less warmth but still produce well without too much care.
When growing lettuce, choose a wide planter to allow for enough space between plants. Leave about 4 inches of head-space when planting so that they can expand and grow into their full potential without crowding each other out or getting too close together in height wise.
Note: If you want your leafy greens closer together then use shallow pots with good draining soil which needs frequent watering at all times during hot weather conditions.
4. Chilies and peppers
Chilies and peppers are super-productive, excellent ‘candidates’ for growing in pots.
They also look great with a sunny spot that’s warm enough to thrive! If you provide the right soil or potting mix as well as regular watering – these hearty plants will fruit richly when grown properly indoors during winter months.
A large container about 12 inches deep provides optimal conditions if planting more than one type of pepper at once (they don’t always like crowding).
