Gonna hijack this thread slightly.

I'd like to start some gardening but am not in a position to plant in ground so I'm looking to do planters.

I don't eat tomatoes (do make homemade salsa though), okra, corn, or peas. So I guess more onions, herbs, carrots, or potatoes.

I'm not really sure where to start. Can any if you point me in the right direction to start?

Green onions from the grocery store are easy to plant in a pot and you can clip the tops all summer. Herbs are fine in pots. For carrots I would get a 5 gallon bucket or something fairly deep. Cucumbers do great in 5 gallon buckets too.

I use a cattle trough, with holes drilled for drainage.

Carrots are a winter crop. You could do bell peppers, eggplant, string beans. Potato take a lot of space, and you would have needed to start last year. It’s a PITA.
