[quote=Anonymous]I have a mix of plastic, resin (heavy plastic), and fabric pots, baskets with coir liners, and also wood raised beds. Costco is a good source for large pots and sometimes raised beds (look online). Part of the reason I garden in containers is the ability to move the containers around, so while ceramic looks great I find it too heavy to be ideal.

The fabric bags are new for me this year and I'm planning to put the seasonal veggies in them -- the annuals that have to be replaced every year.  Tomatoes, peppers, that kind of thing.  Maybe lettuce and peas although the shape isn't quite right. I just bought a pack at Costco but you can also get them from Gurneys and similar gardening places.

My very big resin pots from Costco ($70 for 2, I think) have permanent plants like berries, grapes, and potted trees. I may eventually move those plans to whiskey barrels but for now the pots are more mobile.

I have lettuce and peas in my raised beds. You can get bed kits online or from Home Depot.

I have asparagus in my plastic rectangular planters now, but in past years these planters have held peppers and cucumbers. They can sit alone or be in stands or holders.  Be aware the cheaper plastic planters bow out at the sides when full.

I have strawberries in my lined baskets, and also strawberries in ceramic or plastic pots.
