I used to do this when I lived in the Venice Canals. I used a few on the second story roof. I grew predominately lettuce,small pepper plants. I don't think however that there will be enough root room for most root crops. You should also drill holes along the outside bottom sioes for drainage.

I have not gown root vegetables in a kiddie pool, but I have grown them in pots. They will probably not get as large as ones planted in deeply tilled soil, but they should grow. Just consider how long they grow when deciding.

I read up on how to make the pool garden, I think it would be good to grow stuff like radishes, carrots, lettuce, green onions, etc. shallow root veggies, maybe beets?

I've done it. For beets, turnips, carrots, you need to get the larger size kiddie pool. Drill holes 1" from the bottom on the sides for drainage. I even have onions growing in mine and my tomatoes and eggplant did fab in there. They take about 7 bags of potting soil if I remember correctly.

I spray painted the outside of mine to get rid of the blue ducky theme.

You can do green onions, radishes and any type of greens in any size kiddie pool. The smaller ones don't have the rootspace for any root veggie except round radishes.
