i think its 24 inches big plastic thing. i originally planted the seeds in 2001 variety 'martha washington' and was suprised at how easy they were to germinate. due to personal circumstances i was moving about a lot the 3 plants were completely neglected for 3 years but survived unscathed. i put them in these pots 3 years ago the main thing is to ensure very good drainage so i drilled big holes in the bottom of the pots, crocked them then about 4 inches of gravel. i feed them every two weeks in the growing season with a general purpose liquid fertilizer.
with seed it takes up to 3 years to get a crop so it may be easier to order 2 year old plants for quicker results.
