We're moving house and the new place has a small garden but a biggish deck and gravel area. I've been given permission to make a veggie garden in the backyard but there's very little room and not much sun. Sooo, I was thinking pots... except pots are expensive and hard to find in big enough sizes to grow decent veggies. Plus, I don't really like the look of a whole conglomeration of pots; I tend to think they look messy.
So does anyone have any ideas for veggie-holding containers that are a) attractive, b) cheap, c) large enough to grow carrots, tomatoes and so on in comfortably, and b) drainage-friendly?
As much as I'd like to have everything in artistic wooden half-casks and trugs, it's way out of budget. Any ideas?

If you can find something similar that may work. I think just lining them up all neat and pretty would be okay, unlike some friends that just stuffed as many pots as possible where they could - it looks a bit... cluttered at their place. Plus, if you felt like getting creative with the kiddo you could always paint or do something else to the outside of them as well.
