Linda Pankhurst replied to Debi Williamson's discussion This year I want to learn about ...."I grew them in big pots and when ready to plant them out I had none of that trenching business because they weren't so huge. I just planted the pot contents at the right spacing, trusting that the plant knew how deep it wanted to be. They…"
Linda Pankhurst replied to Debi Williamson's discussion This year I want to learn about ...."I did it! I started the plants from seed. It isn't difficult. You just have to leave them a year longer before picking than if you buy crowns."
