How large are the pots? can you provide the dimensions like height, width etc?

in general vegetables like Okra (ladyfingers), Tomatoes, Spinach can be easily grown in small pots.

Welcome aboard.OK, let's find a place first to grow your vegetables.Umm, Roof top,terrace,or a place where it gets 6-8 hours of dunlight would do.You gotta have big size pots.Okra,Carrots,Spinach,peppers,tomatoes etc are easy to grow in pots.

Wooden carts are excellent conatiners, prepare a soil mix which is loose, doesn't compact and drains well for example if you water them in large volume it should drain completely in 1 minute.. if the water is standing then add small quantity of sand in it. Mix well with well rotted manure which has no smell..

Tomatoes should be planted 1 foot from other plant, spinach & carrots at 4 inches.. season considerations are very important in order to have a better yield..
