Growing garlic is sooo easy! I have even started by separating cloves from a head of garlic from the grocery store or supermarket. Typically planted in fall, but will still grow when planted in spring too. Grows in pots or in ground. I have them all over the place for natural pest control.

I have never grown strawberries in baskets, and here is a link.

The strawberry patch at my old house (ex hubby still lives there and I maintain the garden), is over 20 years old.
I have never used the ones with the holes in the side, but maybe this will work. Prepare the pot like you would with gravel or stones to help with drainage. Put soil in, firming it up a little as you go to the first holes, put the plant in the first hole and cover it with soil, continue this way until you have the holes all planted and filling to pot. If there is room on top, you could put one on the top, too. I hope this helps! I have my strawberries all in hanging pots because of all the critters around my house and yard.
Pinterest has loads of info on this. If you haven't been you will be very surprised.

They also have the hanging bags with numerous holes that you could plant plenty of strawberry plants in, use a couple of them, and you will have a lot of strawberries without taking up a lot of space.
