What Can I Plant in Large Container Now?

I just yanked out my garlic from my 20 gallon container. What vegetables should I plant in the pot? I know I can plant most of the herb and some of the root vegetables.

I'm thinking of growing veges that grow up, so I can plant more of them. How about some peas? Too late for beans? Most of the cabbage family take too much room.

Bush beans, okra, a couple of dwarf tomato plants, Brussel Sprouts, plus any of the Fall vegetable crops can be planted in a couple of weeks - leafy greens, etc. Check out all the other 'what can I plant now' discussions running here right now for more ideas.

That's a big container! A floral designer would include a tall upright element like peas or scarlet runner beans on a narrow tripod, surrounded by a tapestry of greens like chard and kale, with parsley and pansies added for interest.
