Container/Greenhouse ?

17 years ago

If I am posting this in the wrong forum I do apologize. I am not sure if this fits under container gardening or greenhouse.

Anyway, I have the following varieties of vegetables that state they do well in the greenhouse.

Diva Cucumber

Early Jalapeno Chile

Early Sensation Sweet Pepper

Triple Star Sweet Pepper

Fortex Snap Pole Beans

Caberbet Tomato

Sungold Tomato

Sultan Zucchini

also have Alibi Cucumber and Bush Delicata Squash.

My question is I want to plant the cucumbers, pole beans and squash in a 13 gallon tub, the tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets and I was hoping to put the peppers in hanging baskets. All the above would be in my greenhouse. I dont really want to do raised beds to plant in.

Is this feasible? And if so, how many plants per container.

I am also having trouble with the potting medium. For me, thats alot of potting mix. And to be honest, I have read so much I am confusing myself at this point.

I am in Louisiana if that makes a difference. It gets pretty dang warm here in the summer during the daytime but I can keep the greenhouse at a moderate 90 degrees if necessary. When it gets cooler time I am going to have some sort of heat by then and will try to maintain 55 degrees.

I appreciate all input and opinions, especially from anyone with experience with these particular varieties.

Thanks

Kim
