I went for the bucket method this year as I moved this summer. It ended up working out great. Has anyone else tried it?
In the process from seed to bucket I lost all my labels. As well as using several random heirloom seeds from a friend that I was never really sure of. I'm pretty sure these are Purple Cayenne's. Thoughts?

I don’t know if I need an update or what, because I’m not able to send a picture at the moment… I’ll update when I can, but yes…. I’ve got 12 buckets and one rolling igloo cooler 😂 growing Jamaican yellow mushroom and Serrano….I didn’t make drain holes, only closely monitored the watering… But thus far I’ve already made 3 different incarnations of salsa…. Give them 4-5 gallons of dirt and they do rather well
Everything of mine has been great in buckets except one: my Serrano plants have produced an insane amount of mostly heatless peppers. They’re also turning a bit yellow so I keep hitting them with nitrogen liquid fertilizer, perhaps not as often as I should but I’m concerned about overwatering. They’re out of the bottom water for now.
I actually was going to try it this year I had a great scotch bonnet plant that I don’t want to let die !
