Sounds like a solid plan! I use 5 gallon buckets, but I fully cut the bottom out. Then I fill it with topsoil. If you don't have many flowers around I would also plant some of those to bring in the pollinators. I had to hand pollinate my zucchini plants one year with a paintbrush.

Those are 8 gallon. Yeah thankfully we have some heavy flowering bushes on the borders but I've started off some marigolds and nasturtiums in the house already that I'm going to use for interplanting. I've not tried zucchini yet, do you do them in a greenhouse?
No, I just let them grow out in my small raised bed. If you do it right you should have more than you need all summer with just a few plants.
