I guess the first step to weed down you list is finding out what won't last in you area (weather wise) and considering how weird the weather has been so far this year, I WISH YOU BIG TIME LUCK!

I'm not new but have been lurking. This will be my first attempt at growing mostly vegetables and, due to a number of factors, I'll be growing them in containers. I've read some great books (by Edward Smith of VT, Pamela Crawford of GA, and a duo for "Bountiful Containers") but these are people who have a lot of experience. My gardening experience has been ornamentals so I'm not sure if I'll have a green thumb with veggies or not.
My focus is on organic (healthy) and cost (frugality). This is going to be a costly year in that I'm setting up the containers, but I also have a "wish list" that I'm having difficulty paring down. To limit disappointment (not liking a variety, losing some to bugs/disease) I want to plant a number of different varieties, and that is where I start to get into trouble. How do you decide what varieties to try? How many of each variety do you plant?
I'm in AL.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Lily
