I only grew a few tomatoes in containers on my patio when I lived in town, in addition to assorted flowers in the beds alongside my apartment.
Then I bought a mobile home and moved to the country. Now I have a raised bed (57' x 3'), a driveway with assorted containers and assorted flowers (most recently, I planted a row of beautyberry seedlings).

This year, that raised bed is growing a watermelon patch again and all my containers are sitting idle while I focus my efforts on convalescence.
Next year, I'll be able to resume my vegetable gardening: I've already planned when, where and how to grow: watermelons, tomatoes, yellow crook neck summer squash, burpless cucumbers, snap green beans and, of course, more assorted flowers: marigolds, nasturtiums and maybe sunflowers!
I'm surrounded on 3 sides by apple orchards and I am a VERY small vegetable grower!!
