I container garden...I have 24 old cow / horse mineral heavy plastic buckets 2 ft tall...by 24 in wide.

Saves my back...and they sit on concrete..so less weeds.

This will be my 4th or 5th year...and I'm happy....

I only grow tom's, onion's, garlic, asparagus, and hot peppers.

Might do a compact yellow squash this year...also.

I want a coyote squash...I have a fence that would do well for that....

Cold here today...40F...Winter isn't done here in OK

We have stacks of those!

Our neighbor, who also repairs our tractor, grows his entire annual produce consumption in these mineral buckets. He drills small holes, near the bottom of each.

I may try a few, but, my latest thing to try are cloth Smart Pots. Just something different to try. We’re on acreage, too, but I love being able to set it up in different areas and start with my own soil mixes.

Sounds good. I’m ready for winter to end too.
