    I dont have much room for veg. in the garden however I have a small greenhouse.
    I alsready started my tomatoes, and peppers sfrom seed.
    How small of a container do I need for cherry type tomatoes, and my bell peppers?
    Any other suggestion for any other kind of veg. that would prefer the greenhouse to the outside??
    Thanks....

    Your plants will need at least a 3 or 5 gallon container, bigger the better in my opinion. Personally I'm growing mine directly in the ground in the greenhouse, but probably disease will one year make that impractical.

    Other good plants for the greenhouse are cucumbers grown up strings or trellis on the north side of everything else, to eliminate shading of other crops ("Tasty Green" from west coast seeds makes an excellent "long english" type cuke) and eggplants.

    thanks so much for your reply - i will try these cucumbers.
    I bought a variety for container planting - little bush - and will try one cont. in the greenhouse and one outside. Eggplants sound like fun - will def. try.
    thanks again
