I've been discovering more and more vegetables that will grow in a container. Thumbs up Here's a few growing outdoors right now.

Radicchio is delicious raw in salads or cooked.

There are many other edibles to grow in containers. We're waiting until our last frost date to plant out the tomatoes and peppers that are sprouted indoors. A few of the tomatoes and most of the peppers will go in containers. Other vegetables, like summer squash, will be direct sown once the weather warms up.

I love to eat nasturtium. Love that peppery taste, and the texture is wonderful. Blooms or leaves. Even the young stems.

I wish that I had photos to share. I have had success with eggplant in containers, lemon cucumbers, 8 Ball zucchini and herbs. This year, it's dwarf bushy cherry tomatoes, Chiltepin chiles, colorful cubanelles, all started in my grow tent. The 8 balls and eggplant are just beautiful on the patio. I have to haul the water in buckets as my condominium property does not have outside water near!
