Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Every year, we plant a few things in 5-gallon buckets to supplement the 
raised beds; although, we've never tried to transplant anything that big 
later.  I can tell you what does well in them.  Cukes do fine as long as you 
get a compact variety; they're usually labeled as being good for containers, 
and we hang them from the fence to avoid trellising difficulties.  Peppers 
of all kinds do well, but you have to remember to water them daily (cukes 
are thirsty too).  Both varieties of tomatoes do well in buckets, but 
determinate ones will be much easier for you to transport.  I've heard 
cherry tomatoes are ideal for containers, except they do sprawl.

Hope that helps
