I'm in WI and herbs work very well in pots (especially if you have an invasive herb like mint that can take over in a ground garden), but really any herbs are good. Tomatoes, greens, and beans tend to do very well too. I've had some success with carrots as well but you need to be patient for them to be ready. Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks, @stacieschmidt! When do you start yours?

Hi @sunnih
I start some seeds indoors in March (February if I'm getting antsy from winter). 🙂 I plant any small plants (and my seedlings) outside sometime between Mother's Day and Memorial day depending on how warm the spring is. The nice thing about containers is that it's easy to either bring them inside or group them together and cover them if you do get a cold night with patchy frost. I'm buying my plants next weekend and the following, so I'm getting really excited. It's been warm here so they should be able to go outside right after Mother's day.

Thanks @stacieschmidt! I have to get started 🙂
