kale and squashes?

Kale, especially the dwarf/curly varieties, would be great in containers, you could do a few leeks in deep containers. There's a variety of cabbage called Minicole which would be good, although they might need fleecing later in the season. I think swedes would struggle in containers, but you might get a few turnips, again covered over later in the season. Hardy salad leaves, spinach, swiss chard could give you pickings for a few months too.
