We got the plants in their pots today. Fourteen pots for fourteen plants. Last year we doubled up some of the plants and by the end of the summer the pots were too small for two healthy 6-ft plants. So, this year we went one plant per pot. Each pot has a layer of limestone gravel in the bottom, followed by about four inches of dirt from the yard (earthworms and cat pee inclusive), and then topped off with at least six inches of Miracle Grow potting soil. So, their all on the deck now and ready to start soaking up some sun.
