Container Gardening

So I got this idea into my mind that it would be great to have some fresh vegetables this summer. However, living in a condo, I don't have a yard in which I can make a garden. Therefore, I have turned to containers.

Now I have never gardened before, so I'm not really sure how well this is going to work out. I planted some basil seeds in a yogurt container which I'm keeping indoors, and some zucchini seeds in a container outside. Of course, only later did I read that the container I used for my zucchini is far too small and I discovered that i had planted them wrong and possibly too early. So it remains to be seen if I'll have any that manage to grow.

At least my gardening experience so far hasn't been all bad news. This morning I discovered that my basil is growing! I have to say that discovering this got me thoroughly excited. Now I just hope it lives long enough for me to be able to use it.
