Felknor Ventures 82506 Topsy Turvy Upside-Down Tomato PlanterIngenious tomato planter turns gardening upside down! Thanks to a whole new direction in growing tomatoes, your crop will be bigger, better tasting, healthier, and easier to grow than ever before. You can water, feed, trim and harvest without bending or kneeling--and since your crop is upside down and will never touch the ground, staking, caging, bacteria, ground rotting, fungus and small animals become problems of the past. It's the perfect gift for any gardener. Great for those who live in apartments or who have small backyards. Water and fertilize through the built-in top funnel; trim and harvest at chest height! Also for cukes, peppers, flowers. Just add your soil and plants. Topsy-Turvy¿ Planter makes it easy to grow tomatoes and vegetables because it eliminates the need for a backyard garden plot.
I have had very good luck with bush cucumbers bred for containers and also romaine lettuce.

potatoes, they require very little attention
I would think tomatoes are good. Did you use the same soil over again? Tomatoes are heavy feeders, and deplete the soil, unless you add manure and compost.
Hot peppers work pretty good. Like tomatoes, they need lots of sun.
Tomatoes generally do well in containers. When you planted them the second time, did you plant them in the same soil that you did the previous year? There may have been fusarium wilt, or tobacco mosaic virus that killed them off. If you smoke cigarettes, it is best to wash your hand before you touch tomato plants.
Last year I planted green beans in a rectangular shaped planter box that was about 1 foot by 6 feet long, and the beans did quite well and were quite prolific producing beans. The beans were a bush type bean and not a pole bean.
Eggplants,tomatoes, peppers and other Herbs and almost every kind of beans….its really a trial and error theres no exact rule what you can grow there whatever yu like as long as yu have enough irregation and soil is good and rich, if not youll have to keep changing their containers.
Pretty much any vegetable can be grown in a container. Also fruits like Blueberries and strawberries. Just remember that if it isn’t raining then you need to give them a good soaking every other day at least. Also if you aren’t using the miracle grow potting soil with the moisture control and food in it already then I would suggest getting some kind of food for the plants like the others have suggested. Keep in mind if you are going to do Cucumbers, peas, or pole beans you need to have something for them to climb on. Any vegetable that is juicy like tomatoes, cucumbers and the like will need extra water.
Hope this helps you!!
Sugar snaps, and spices grow great in pot`s !
You can grow several upright vegetable plants in containers…tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, potatoes (depending on the depth and size of pot), brussel sprouts, cabbage/kale, broccoli, cauliflower, or onions. Just about anything that doesn’t vine or get too tall.
I don’t know why your tomato plants died. Anything in a pot will need thorough watering every day once established and when the weather gets hot. A good plant food and proper light requirements are also essential.
How big a bucket? I’m going to say 5 gallons. If you use good soil you can grow anything in 5 gallons. Choose store bought soil carefully, some are additives for soil and to rich for anything, will cause rot. Tomatoes are the easiest, peppers right behind them. I grew a 125 pound pumpkin out of a five gallon bucket. Peas and beans can be in smaller buckets. Radishes can be grown in wide, shallow buckets. No limit if you do some research.
