Container Gardening

Pole Beans and Cucumbers. I've decided to try container vegetables on our deck this year(about the only full sun place left in my garden).

I ordered Bush Champion cucumber and Kentucky Wonder pole beans from Burpee. Master Gardener Karen Bernhard sent me a link for container gardening help. http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/extension/container/container.html

I have a few ideas for containers, but I'll have to do some shopping to find something suitable. I plan to use bamboo stakes to support the pole beans. I need to do some more research before shopping for supplies.

I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions from gardeners who have tried container vegetables.
