re: Late start to growing veggies or herbs

Jalapenos, cayenne and even Bells can be grown in a pot. Obviously, the bigger the better. I have mine in 7 gallon black plastic pots that plants come in from the nursery. Make sure you put a couple of inches of gravel in the bottom for drainage.

Oregano, thyme, parsley, mint, rosemary and basil are both great in pots too. Oregano is evergreen so you can have fresh oregano even in the winter. put gravel in the bottom for drainage for these also.
