Vegetables and Fruits to Grow in 4 Gallon Containers

John3 · April 18, 2010

I have been googling for information on the type of vegetables that can be grown in four gallon containers and how many of each plant to grow in the container. A local bakery is saving them for me and I have picked up about 30 so far and they are round in shape.

one Tomatovillian shows how to grow strawberries in 4 gal containers.

some Tomatovillians grow one tomato plant per 4 gal container (most are using a 5 gal container)

What about Beets and other vegetables and other fruits besides strawberries?

What are you growing in 4 gallon containers?

Has anyone made them into EarthTainer's?

Here's some I would like to know what container size I should use
peppers - sweet and hot
carrots - little fingers, thumbilina and reg long types
collards
turnips
mustards
corn
pole beans
crowder beans
limas - bush and pole
herbs
leeks
red and white onions
scallop squash
butternut squash
swiss chard
eggplants
yellow crokneck squash
rutabaga
bunching onions
pak choi
spinach round leaf
kohl rabi
sweet snow peas
watermelons
luffa gourd
mixed lettuces
cabbage
cucumber
garlic
okra
