In spite of the HOA, you might be able to grow some veggies in pots. I have had the most success with tomatoes, peas, cucumbers, and zucchini. It is important to have the pots (5 gallon or so) where they will get good sunlight and where it isn't too troublesome to water them. Seed packages often indicate which varieties are best for growing in pots, usually bush types. Good luck!
