I like the bucket greens Jake. Last year we had 3 types of lettuce, rocket and cilantro in buckets, they did well but we thought we had flying snails as they kept getting eaten. Turns out it was grasshoppers and locusts so this year they are getting fruit net around them.
Next year when I get the space ready we are growing spuds, three harvests a year is common here and home grown tatties are hard to beat.
