What container?

Vegetables can be grown in many types of containers. Large cans, plastic cartons or buckets can be used for larger vegetables. Small cartons or cans may be used for small vegetables such as radishes. The container should have drainage holes for water drainage.

Write a paragraph telling about the container you chose. Be sure to include the steps you took to prepare the container for planting.

How to plant?

Most plants sowed from the seeds will need to have several seeds planted per container. Vegetables started from seedlings, small plants, will need to be planted alone in one container. Most vegetables are planted 1/4 to 1 inch deep. Refer to the back of the seed packet for specific planting directions.

Write a paragraph explaining the steps for planting your vegetables. Be sure to include the variety of your plant, the number of seeds planted, the depth the seeds were planted, care the plants may need, and how long it will take to grow the vegetable plants.
