Best veg varieties for containers?

[hillbilly]

I only have a patio garden but would love to grow some veg this year. I was thinking of cherry tomatoes, potatoes, beans, cucumbers and strawberries. Can anyone recommendation the best varieties?

go into a bookshop and note down a few varieties from any book.

Potatoes do quite well in these fancy spud bags. leeks grow inside anything, even wellies with holes.

I buy my seeds from Thompson & Morgan, I serched their website for Container Vegetables and it came up with this

Thanks I will take a look.

Anything 'dwarf' will be ok in a pot - I tried dwarf green beans last year, tumbling tom tomatoes for hanging baskets, and there are varieties of carrot that are short and fat, so they don't need to be sown in a deep container.

I'm going to try potatoes in old compost bags this year (instead of buying spud bags).

I also have this book - Crops in Pots , which has some pretty suggestions in it, including growing maize in a half barrel!

And this BBC Article looks good, but I haven't read it yet.
