I have an area right in front of my house that has hydrangeas along the walkway, but space between them and the porch.
While I would like to plant there, my wife loves the hydrangeas, so I've only used it as a spot for house plants to live during summer months.
Most of the house plants are dead now😔, so I'm switching to bucket planters.
I tried some cuttings in them over the fall and winter, only the hardy kiwi took.
I've been wanting to grow jchokes in buckets for a while now, for ease of harvest.
I've also seen things indicating that a j-choke might make tubers along its stalk if it was buried.
I want shade for the porch, and food for the bunnies,and jchokes in sub-irrigated buckets could provide both, with the bunnies living right inside the front door, mere steps away.
Rather than start with tubers, I plucked full jchoke plants from nearby beds and buried them in 16" of soil.
I added dill seed and Fava beans to each bucket, walking onion bulbettes to a few, and mint to at least one.
I might add cuttings to them later.
