| The planters in the link below were on clearance at a local garden store and my Dad saw "self watering" and bought me several of these. The dimesions are 9" W x 7-1/2" H x 31" L http://mypotsandplanters.com/self-watering-window-box-31/ Can I grow any of these in this planters? My concern is that 7.5inches is not very deep: -snap peas |

| spinach, pak choi, and arugula should be fine as long as the pot doesn't get too hot. Most leafy greens have shallow roots. I wouldn't bother planting peas in it. This might help: http://farmflavor.com/gardening-tip-know-your-roots/ |

| If you like snow peas, there are some early varieties that don't grow but about 2 feet tall. They would probably work. I think burpee has a carrot called little fingers that can be planted one inch a part, great container carrot, and then one called short and sweet. I think it's a 3 inch carrot. My experience with edible pod peas is that they put on from the bottom up, so you may find that you could get a bit of a harvest before they got root bound. In my area, the heat gets to peas before they would naturally peak out, So I often just get a few pickings. Zone 6 probably is better for peas. |

| Sure, you can plant any and all of them in 7.5" deep soil, as long as they are watered and fed. That includes peas too. |
