I really want to start a small container garden. I'm planning on making my own but I don't know what direction to go in... Can anyone make any suggestions as to what plants to start with and or what kinds of containers are best?

You don't say whether you are talking about veggie or flowers and plants but the best advice will come from your local nursery. They can tell you which plants etc will grow best in your area. I just started container gardening and essentially, it works much the same way as growing in soil does. What is important is that you choose the right size container and take into account the amount of sun etc that the plants will get where you are growing them. In terms of containers, just make sure that you get one that won't crowd the roots and one that will give your plants plenty of room to grow into.

I was looking for some information on gardening in small places and came across this discussion, http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/759281.aspx, It has a couple of informative posts. You might want to look at it.
