Container help, please!

[gigglybug]

I am hoping to plant my courgettes, squash, and pumkins into containers, could someone tell me if they think 14 ltr buckets would be big enough???

I know that courgettes are OK growing in containers, but what about pumpkins and squash??

Thankyou

Not going to be much help as i've never grown squashes or pumpkins but as these can grow to be very large veg I would hazzard a guess as no being the answer. However on a recent tv programme it was seen that vertical gardening was ok for squashes etc.
You build a frame similar to that of runner beans and then let the squashes climb up the frame. when the fruit sets you form a hammock type pouch which for ish people would be like a string bag. these are then left hanging until needed so in that case a 14lt bucket would be ok for the plant and to feed and water etc... hope that's of help somewher,lol...
