I'm not sure if this is the right place, but with the area I'm growing in (mostly sand) I'm looking into container growing. I have 5+ gallon containers and ample sunlight (and warmth).

I also found a free organic (commercial) compost and have hauled about 75 gallons so far. What are are the best, easiest veggies and fruits to grow in a zone 9 climate. I've done a bit of online searching and come across a few things. If there is a year round planting calendar that I've missed I would love to see it.

Currently I have a pumpkin vine growing in one container (2 total) and two cucumber vines I'm looking to move to the containers soon.

I guess... What's currently in season (I'm an excited gardening newbie) and what will be in season over the fall and winter season.

I'm also growing early scarlet globe radish seeds and chantenay carrot seeds in much smaller containers. Planning to move from .5L to 2L containers that I've repurposed.

Thanks in advance all!
