RV Gardening

Since I had hoped to be in a house this summer I had planned on having a large garden but since I'm in an RV that's not going to stop me. Instead I'm going to container garden this year. After a lot of online research I'm amazed at the number of things you can grow in a gallon bucket and luck would have it my husband does apartment maintenance so he in large supply of paint buckets that are very easy to clean.

I'm going to go small this year. I plan to grow two or three tomato plants, some peppers, carrots, and some potatoes. The good thing about container gardening is you don't have to dig a garden and when you move your RV take your garden with you. Then in the fall and winter add your coffee grounds and potato and banana peeling to the soil to get it ready for the next year and store the buckets under the RV.

Since this is my first year I'm not an expert but I will share the links with you were I got a lot of information. That way you can decide if container gardening is right for you. I'm looking forward to having free food.
