There is some people out there that can grow almost anything in a pot, I'm not one of them... so here are a couple of vegetables that are very hard to grow in a pot/container, so if you are a new gardener, or maybe you have tried to grow these, now you know that it really takes a lot of room, work and in a lot of cases even with a big container and lots of plant-sitting still don't work.
1-ARTICHOKES: they are too big, and too greedy, so even if you have a large pot, they require a lot of additives and love to keep them alive, and if you by any chance succeed, you will get a small crop ( all that love and caring for a small crop).
They need room to spread and get more nutrients. Some people are successful at growing them in pots, most gardeners won't even try to, so I guess is up to you
2- BRASSICAS: most require firm soil to keep them stable and support the head, they are slow growing and to produce a decent head it needs some conditions that are hard to achieve in a container.
So, you can try, there are a lot of Youtube videos that teach you how to grow these in containers, however, if you are a new gardener keep in mind that these take a lot of work, and probably not the best thing to grow if you are starting in your container garden.
