if that is your property what a beautiful place...

in the NW we've had rain and temps haven't gotten up there yet....still cool....but this weekend we might hit 70....

question for whoever knows....can I plant potatoes in 5 gallon buckets?.....I've got a lot of buckets and I prefer to keep my garden beds for other things....thx in advance..

Yes. Potatoes do very well in buckets. Be sure to put holes in the bottom for drainage. They also sell cloth bags for potato planting that work well too. You can move them around in your flower beds to fill in bare spots.

Yes.

I hope that somebody with potato experience will answer your question, but it is my understanding that, with proper drainage, you can grow potatoes in buckets.

Thank you for the compliment on the yard. We are blessed with a beautiful homestead.

Five gallon buckets should easily get you a crop of tomatoes. I had good results with cherry tomatoes on those hanging bags and they hold less soil than a 5 gallon bucket.

Geez, I see “Potato” and my brain says “Tomato”

Disregard previous post...LOL!!!

Have you watched the Victorian Kitchen Garden series on YouTube?

I found it when I was watching the Victorian Kitchen series. Go figure. ;)
