Five gallon buckets make bucket gardening simple, affordable, and surprisingly productive, even in the smallest spaces. With good drainage holes and the right container vegetables, you can grow fresh patio crops like peppers and bush beans all season long.
Growing beans at home is an easy way to enjoy fresh, flavorful harvests while boosting your garden’s soil health. With so many varieties to choose from and simple growing tips to follow, you can start picking tender pods or hearty dry beans in just a few weeks.
Planning your bean patch is easier than you think: as a general rule, allow 50 feet of row per person for bush beans or 35 feet for pole beans. If you want to use beans both fresh and dry, double that amount and mark your rows so you can harvest each at the right time for the best flavor and quality.
