Container pots. Plastic. Easy to move and adjust.
Paint and decorate 'em any way you like.
Using 'starter soil'. You will have to fully water, probably slightly warm, every single day, at dusk and possibly afternoon in June/July.
Until it drains out the bottom. It has lots of perlite and peat moss for aeration.
First:
Spray that walk with a lite anti-fungal.
Use a carry spray pumper...with no rain for a few days.
<5% bleach or Wet N Forget.
Let sit a week. Then power-wash. Cheap 120V units available.
Once your Florida mess is gone growing will be great.
I've had many problems growing big vine plants when powdery mildew takes over and rots just before harvest: Watermelon. Pumpkin. Zucchini.
The tiny 'pickling cukes' turned into giant arm size zucchini within a week.
Too humid here sometimes. Plants here either grow too big or not at all.
They spread across the walkways. Jungle. The hops grew up along the 2nd-story gutters and pulled off the mounted outdoor light.
I've had to use hedge clippers to even get to the tiny back yard. Fighting through jungle.
Wild orange cherry tomatoes re-seed themselves for five years later but don't taste very good.
Stick with herbs for the most part.
Basil is good for fresh pasta or frozen pesto. Rosemary. Lavender for smell.
Real tomatoes in a container will probably topple over and need care.
Or build a solid plant box. With a foot or more soil underneath.
