Here's a great one-page guide to vegetable gardening in containers, from the Universite of Texas:
"If your vegetable gardening is limited by insufficient space or an unsuitable area, consider the possibility of raising fresh, nutritious, homegrown vegetables in containers. A window sill, a patio, a balcony or a doorstep will provide sufficient space for a productive mini-garden. Problems with soil-borne diseases, nematodes or poor soil conditions can be easily overcome by switching to a container garden"

I think any area of the house, no matter how small, is a good location and a good opportunity to start a garden! It just takes time and good planning.

It's true that anythin is big enough - remember growing cress in empty egg shells at school?
It's much easier to protect against slugs (my main problem) with pots and to ensure that the earth is nutritious. The challenge is to keep the moisture at the right level.

I'd forgotten about growing in egg shells! That was a wonderful learning experience, I shall have to try it with my own children. Thanks for reminding me.

I think my mother has a plant growing in the bottom of half of a gallon sized plastic milk jug! Who says plastic couldn't be recycled ;)
