Hey guys.
I am moving to my first apartment in 2 weeks, and am planning on having a container garden of sort. I have a patio/backyard area, so I have a little bit of room to work with.

My question is what are some plants that typically do well in containers on a patio? ... I think I have a variety of light from full shade to full sun. I'm open to all sizes of containers and all kinds of plants (I'd like a couple veggies and fruits if I can manage it). I just want a pretty, relaxing area to sit out in.

Also, I live in GA (in one of the worst parts of the drought) but for now we can water 3 days a week, so I don't want to overstep my watering capacity.

I have NO idea what I am doing, so any help, links, references to other posts, would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks!
Deanna
