Lookings for guidance on container gardening.

Courgettes are not natural climbers, better off using any vertical growing space for something else.

I use Marketmore Q's for outside. They are always productive although I find them prone to furry leaves (mildew?) and a weekly spray of milk and water mix helps keep it at bay.

I tried a variety of climbing courgette last year and was not successful but I think it was my neglect. There is (or are) bush varities that don't turn into triffids. Have not tried them as courgettes are not a favourite of ours.

Sugar snaps in a wall basket. I like Sugar Ann as the pods stay crunchy. This year its mange tout so I've chosen Shiraz. Although I love fresh peas you need so many pods to create a meal the number of pots needed would take up all of my very limited space.

Leeks are good in pots but look out for varities like King Richard/ Northern Lights etc. Some of the leek varities grow huge so you would end up with one a bucket which would waste your space.

Pak choi and chinese cabbage all grow in pots but most of the oriental veg bolt in midsummer so prefer to be sown early or after the middle of July.

I'm just finishing my carrot pots. They don't have to be too deep as long as the variety is suitable. Chantenay Red Cored, Denver Half Long and any of the ball varieties can be sown into pots 6 or so inches deep. I use flower buckets for over winter ones as they are much deeper. Eskimo is my winter carrot of choice.

Never tried them! I might just do 2 of each then, and try to get them over an arch

I tried https://www.thompson-morgan.com/p/co...brid/tt52080TM

But mine did seem very virulent, I did get some but perhaps the position was not right.
Anyone else tried them ?

That's true generally, but there are varieties of courgettes that are considered climbers and could be an option for growing up against a fence or trellis.

Black Forest, Shooting Star, Tromboncino etc.

I tried Black Forest, and it does like to climb... down.

For the OP Lolly checked pots in Wilko today, assumes you have one close.
10" 25cm are £, 12" 30cm are £1:50.
Likely more relevant their 50cm ones are £5. Should get 3 or 4 Anya potatoes in one.
