if ya can have a couple of those big planters and a sunny exposure you can have tomatos and beens.
Gurneys now has a tomato plant that will grow a hundred tomatos on it.
if you plant kentucky wonders you can putt a trelles of sort and grow a half bushel of pole beans in a big planter.. just put in a couple pols for them to climb on, web some string back and forth to suport lots of vine and plant the seeds one every six inches apart you can get in almost a whole pack of seed.
yes you will want to use a small bag of cow manure and merical gro potting soil to fill the big planters.
I grow a regular beef steak and a patio tomato in a planter every year... dont use regular garden soil because it packs to hard during watterings..
there aint nottin better than a fresh tomato for breakfast early in the mornng or tomato sandwich in the afternoon. or fresh beans ham/bacon and taters in the pot on a sunday afternoon....
even a fried green tomato is pretty taisty [
