Need suggestions for what to plant in mid-to-late August?

What would be good plants to buy already growing, or to plant in mid-to-late August around the Fort Worth, Texas area? I want something that will grow in a pot. Please include with suggestions how much sun, water, and fertilizer the plant will need, and general care tips, if known.

For one thing, there was no additional info besides the names of plants. Also, just out of curiousity, how the hell would you grow potatoes in a pot? Report It

Read the instructions and follow the recommended amounts and application times. Make sure that your plants receive full sun for 8 hours of the day. A little afternoon shade is good, if the 8 hour requirement is still met. Know what time of the year to plant. Some vegetables are for the cool times of the year and some are for the warm. Planting at the wrong time will almost ensure failure.
