Now that fall is coming, I'd plant more things like lettuces and kale that can be eaten at any size.

Since time is short, I would plant lettuce and radishes. I love them both and they would be ready to eat quickly!

If you have a lot of sun, next year you could try small peppers and bush beans. Actually, I would move some of the herbs to the railing containers and use the larger pots for vegetables. Many are available now in smaller sizes suitable for container gardening.

Thanks! Yea I was thinking for now lettuces/kale!

I found a railing box that is 24 inches deep, do you think i could try I small carrot variety or beet?

Do you think I could do strawberries next year in those Greenbos? Also bush beans would be fun for next year! And peppers but what variety is small enough?

Thanks so much!!!

There are small round carrots available (like French heirloom 'Paris market', Thumbelina, French round, Mini round, Short and sweet...)

You can also grow a baby turnip which could be eaten whole, raw or cooked (I like plate of roasted veggies: baby potatoes, baby carrots, baby turnips, small round onions-delish!)

And strawberries should do well next year.

thank you rina!

great post Rina!

ashleightaylor, did you find those 24 inch deep railing containers online or at a store? I have been looking for something like that but have had no luck so far.
