Potted plants come in all shapes and sizes; some are outside plants, and others are indoor. Potted plants are easy to maintain because weeds are easily contained inside the pots. Weeds are also easier to identify when plants are in pots. Growing vegetables and fruits in pots allows a person without the garden space to still grow a vegetable garden through container gardening. You can make pots out of recycled milk jugs, cereal boxes, laundry soap buckets and many other household items.
Tomatoes
Tomato plants grow successfully in any type of pot. The trick of growing tomatoes in a container is to ensure the pot is large enough to accommodate the root system. The bigger the container, the larger the tomato will get.
Beans
Beans can be grown in pots as long as you provide a trellis for the bean plant to climb. You can buy or make a bean trellis.
Bulbs
You can design a potted basket with bulbs, perennials or annuals. Tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, begonias and bleeding heart all do well in hanging baskets.

Cacti and other succulents do very well in pots. They require very little water, and no soil. Just fill the pots will sand or rocks.
