Easy Veggies to Grow in Buckets This April!

3. Carrots
Tip: Choose shorter varieties like ‘Thumbelina’ or ‘Parisian’. Fill the bucket deep with loose, sandy soil.
4. Green Onions / Scallions
Tip: You can regrow store-bought ones or grow from seed. They don’t need much space!
5. Lettuce & Salad Greens
Fast-growing & cut-and-come-again!
Tip: Keep in partial shade to prevent bolting as temps warm up.
6. Cucumbers (Bush Variety)
Tip: Use a small trellis in your bucket or let them sprawl. Choose compact varieties.
7. Garlic
Tip: Plant individual cloves now for a fall harvest. Keep soil moist but not soggy.
8. Bush Beans
Tip: These are perfect for buckets! No need for a trellis, just sunshine and good soil.
April Planting Tips:

Use quality potting mix with compost.
Drill drainage holes if your bucket doesn’t already have them.
