My bucket garden is not doing very well. I don't know if I'm just not watering it enough or if there is something gone haywire some other way. Seeing as how there isn't any water nearby, and I have to refill buckets from the house back-and-forth-and-back-and-forth, it may be they just aren't getting watered enough. I did manage to get three little snap pea pods to pop out, and two little cherry tomatoes. My first garden ever, and it's true what 'they' say, that fresh grown tastes MUCH better than grocery stored!
I'm going to let these snap peas peter out, and then change my setup to be closer to water. Maybe hire someone to run me a water line out there, or something...
Did you put plenty of drainage holes in the bucket? I have killed more plants with too much water than I ever killed from too little water.
I watered my garden today with rainwater we catch from the roof in a swimming pool. Hubby put a connection in the pool close to the ground, and a splitter on it so that I all I have to do is turn the gizmo and gravity does the rest.
It sure beats hauling water which is what I used to do.
