Actually didn't seem to anymore root bound than the gallon pot. But all the
plants were very small.
I wonder if the smaller pots got drier or hotter (because of less soil mass)
than the gallon pots. Less food available?
No, I really don't think that was the case. I kept them in the greenhouse
until late May at which time I moved them into shade till I made a place to
plant them.
Do you distribute you seeds over the surface of the pot or keep them in a
bunch in the middle.
I had been thinking about planting seeds immediately after harvesting too. Do
you think you got better germination rates than by letting them dry out first.
I planted all seed right in the middle of the pot.
Yes, I diffently got better germination.
Did any of these seeds germinate before winter srrived?
Yes...you will see the dates I planted and when they started germinating. I
don't want to ruin the surprise.
I will be posting the information very soon.
