What I used for my bucket potatoes were just plastic buckets with the bottoms cut out. I doubt your HOA would approve.

Doing stealth herbs is a good choice.

Paint your 5 gallon bottomless buckets a lovely shade of GREEN and place them strategically.

Unless your nearest neighbor is Gladys Kravitz, you might be OK. ;)

I might be able to figure out a suitable bottomless container. Most of my herbs, save a few, are in containers. And I can turn any container into a fairy garden with the right pieces. I’ll give it some creative thought. Thank you!

Hey, Look! There’s a ‘Project Paw Paw’ that wants to make Paw Paws more accessible to everyone. :)

This info was in an older ‘Mother Earth News’ magazine I was reading the other day.

I found a deep container with good drainage. It’s actually an old aluminum pail that’s had holes drilled in it all over. Very leaky. I have put it in the one sunny strip I have on my front walkway, but for now it looks like a fairy garden until the foliage comes. I’m not sure if these will even grow well, but nothing ventured nothing gained. So if anyone from the HOA does venture over here, it shouldn’t be obvious that’s what it is. I’m guessing that lonely little broccolini plant will be frowned upon, but I have flowers and herbs surrounding it.
