Can anyone tell me how many seds per pot to use & how large the

grow.


I use 2" peat pots, usually with two seeds in each; I pull out the
weaker of the two seedlings. As you're going to use untrustworthy
seed, I'd suggest four or five seeds in each pot. The plants vary,
but will probably get to about three feet.


As far as growing, I agree. As far as size, er, no. Depending on
the variety and how suitable the growing conditions (e.g. how sunny),
anywhere from 1'-3' is likely. A final pot size of 6"-9" is what
I use. You need a well-drained compost.
