Out to pasture
I used to live in cities with small yards or none at all. I grew toamotes in pots. The smaller varieties do better in pots. They require frequent watering. The five gallon buckets should work fine. You can grow squash and cucumbers in those buckets too. Lettuce can be grown in boxes as shallow as 10 inches as long as you keep it watered. Herbs are a worthwhile kitchen crop, because food you cook with them taste so much better, than the storebought stuff.
