So some of you know I've tried to grow grass several times... let's just say my green thumb needs a little help.

What can I grow in a pot this time of year? Any ideas? I'm thinking of bringing the grass back too... but I'd love to go out and pick something to eat!

According to my Sunset Western Garden Book, for our zone...broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage,carrots,cauliflower, kohrabi, lettuce, radishes, spinach. Not sure how any of these will do in a pot though.

I grew lettuce in pots last year and they did terrific. A lot easier to pick also when it is up off the ground. I grew red leaf lettuce and a green leaf kind that I just can't remember the name of right now. I tried carrots in a pot and never got a decent size carrot.

I've grown broccoli in a pot and it did great! If you don't harvest it in time to eat, it blooms into very pretty little yellow flowers!
