BUCKETS & BUSHELS

submitted by: Kylie Houston

My man and I both come from a small, rural town.  When we moved to Columbia to live in an apartment, there was nowhere to put a garden!

He came up with the great idea of using 5-gallon buckets to plant peppers, tomatoes, and other vegetables and we took turns tending to them and watching our apartment garden grow.

Also, we worked together to can all of the extra vegetables that we were unable to eat and gave many to friends and family members.  This activity lasted for months and provided us with a great way to spend time together.
