Growing Vegetables in Five Gallon Buckets

 This year we are trying something new. Using an old picnic bench and various containers, we started a little container vegetable garden. Our biggest gardening problem is the lack of sunlight. We are surrounded by mature forest which casts shade much of the day. The containers allow us to move the veggies to follow the sun. My son planted tomatoes and nasturtiums in five-gallon buckets and they are thriving. We also have peppers, eggplant, herbs, lettuce, cucumbers, and flowers.
