Linda, I put 3 seeds by 4 seeds (ie 12) seeds per pot and wait for them
to germinate or not and finally put them out sometime in June. I rip the
pots down the corners and put the pot in the ground in a hole big enough
to accomodate it and tear the sides of the pot off. Then pat the soil in
the bed up to the soil in the pot firmly and then put cayenne pepper on
the seedling and soil in the pot to stop the rabbit from trying the
small plants out. Have fun!!!
