 10 Common vegetables that can be easily grown in buckets



Bucket garden is an easy one that many gardeners love, especially for those who live in urban areas. No need for a large backyard, there is plenty of food for daily meals. In today’s post, we are too young to share 10 common vegetables that grow easily in buckets. So, if you find ways to grow food in your small space, check out our recommendations here.


How to buy buckets? Do not worry! You can find them at the local home improvement store and restaurant caterers or on the Internet. Whether you want to grow your vegetables in 5-gallon buckets or some 10-gallon buckets, they are available. Before growing, make good drainage holes in the bottom of the buckets. Later, you can sow the seeds in potting soil in buckets or plant seedlings, making sure both work well. In addition, do not forget about other basic care such as watering, fertilizing, and exposure to sunlight.


1 cucumber


Cucumbers like to grow in full sun. You can grow it from seeds and seedlings. When they mature, you need to support them with a crossbar.


2 Lettuce



You can easily grow lettuce in buckets by sowing the seeds of lettuce directly into the soil or replanting the lettuce from the kitchen.


3 peppercorns


Pepper can be easily grown from store-bought chili seeds. Simply, open them and collect the seeds from those healthy peppers. Then, sow them directly in the potting soil of the buckets or in the seed tray.


4 peas



Growing peas is much easier by sowing the seeds indoors in seed trays. When they grow to 5-6 inches in length, it is time to plant the seedlings in your outdoor buckets.


5 onions


Onions are one of the easiest vegetables to start growing onions in buckets from seeds or seedlings. If they get 6-7 hours of direct sunlight a day they will grow happily and have enough space.


6 Lettuce



Spinach is a very healthy leafy green and you can easily grow this vegetable in buckets by sowing the seeds directly in the potting soil of your buckets.


7 ginger


Ginger can be completely re-grown from kitchen waste by taking some good and healthy rhizomes of ginger and dividing them into pieces and planting them in the soil. Do not forget to water them and they will grow.


8 Garlic



Like ginger, you can easily grow garlic in the kitchen with its garbage. Ideally, take some healthy garlic bulbs from your kitchen and separate them into cloves. Select some healthy and large cloves and sow in the soil. Give about 5-6 inches between each clove and water.


9 carrots


You can easily grow small carrot varieties in buckets by sowing carrot seeds directly into the potting soil of your buckets. Remember to give them water.


10 radishes



Radish is the best vegetable to grow in a bucket. After a while, you can harvest. Grow them directly from seeds.

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1. Combine bright colors This collection of colorful pots introduces the viewer to the vivid color scheme in the beds behind it, mainly blue flowers. However, to maintain exclusivity, pots get exclusive rights to colors like magenta, pink and chartreuse. 2. Formal lateralization A combination of papyrus and vases always looks elegant, but when placed side by sid...

Strategies for improving a small garden space

Prioritize functionality when every inch is precious When I started designing gardens 20 years ago, I was surprised to find that small spaces were more challenging to plan than large ones. In those early years, a small number of clients would come to me with detailed lists of items they must have, and I would struggle to fit everything in. Identifying specific features and details was a major breakthrough. A garden should be the final step in the process, not the first. Since then, every consultation I have with a new client begins with three questions I've nicknamed the "three W's." These prompts help my clients imagine interacting with their redesigned spaces, and while they're useful in remodeling gardens of all sizes, they're especially helpful when space is at a premium. When my husband and I recently moved into a new house with a small backyard, we had the opportunity to use the process for ourselves. Here's what we found. Three question...

Top 10 Early Spring Flowering Shrubs

Early Spring Flowering Shrubs Spring-blooming shrubs and bushes add color to backyards early in the season, attract pollinators and more. 1. Carnelian cherry dogwood Cornus mas, zones 4 to 8 Size: Up to 20 feet tall and wide Welcome spring with bright yellow flowers that appear earlier than those of forsythia. These spring-blooming shrubs prefer full sun or partial shade and prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil. Leaves turn purplish red in fall, and scaly bark adds winter interest. Why we love it: Red fruits are edible, but they're also made into preserves, jellies and slices. Or leave them for the birds to enjoy. 2. Dwarf Russian Almond Prunus tenella, zones 2 to 6 Size: 2 to 5 feet tall and wide This moderate-sized shrub records the growing season with showy rose-red flowers and yellow-orange fall color. It prefers full sun, tolerates a variety of soil types and is very drought tolerant. Ruth's 100 produces lots of flowers on a small plant. Why we love it: Flo...
