growing veggies in containers?

[antkaki]

i know i've seen things here and there on growing vegetables and fruits, etc in containers....when would the best time to start them be and how big should the containers be? i tried doing a regular garden but don't have the energy or stamina to go out and do what needs to be done some days, especially in the summer here . if t's too late to start now, maybe i can save up to start when the time is right....thanks for any info

These two sites have some nice information on them about containers and sizes. I have always tended to have too small containers so I would error on the size of bigger.
