Indeed, anything can be grown but not everything does quite as well, but it may largely depend on other factors like fertilizer balancing. For example I have a serious problem with magnesium deficiency in containers, not sure why it's so big, does soil contain huge amount of it?
So plants which are very prone to it, just don't do very well (definitely not reaching the full potential). And from many threads here, I think this is the most common problem beginner container gardeners notice.
Indian Stripe and Berkley Tie Die Pink are two plants that are really resistant to Mg deficiency (especially BTDP), leaves are still green down to the bottom ones now that winter is close. They are both productive and good tasting, so they get my recommendation for a beginner.
