Yeah, I'm curious to see how they do. Cheap enough!

I especially liked the way the roots grew
through the material. No need to remove
the bags upon plant-out.

Wish I remembered who used them last season.

A couple quick photos. Getting things transplanted here and there after work every day, then transferred over to my flood shelves. Two more shelves to fill up.

It's very likely I'll be moving before it's time to put them in the ground. So... I guess we will just wait and see what happens here.

Flood shelves.

More hiding in here.

Also decided to just go with the square quart pots and trays that I have available. I tried messing with the fabric containers, but they're a real hassle to work with.

Looks good, Matt. Good luck getting those
to a new space for the grow season.

Thank you, Paul. I hope I'm able to find a spot to put them. May end up mailing them to you guys!

Looking good CTB! Find a spot for them in MI or you'll regret it come fall when the rest of us are rolling in the pods!

Looks good. I think you are using the same pots that I'm using. If you gotta move now is the time before they are giants.

Thanks CD.

I will definitely be bummed if I don't find somewhere to put them. I know I'll have room for some of them at least, though.

Thanks Mr. Joe. Square quart pots! Yeah...maybe I should have held off this year. Lol

120 varieties put in quart pots so far.

2 of 3 flood shelves filled up

BDASPNY · Feb 10, 2020

wow that's am Impressive amount of variety. I hope you find some land for all of them to grow!

I think mine are 42.25 sq inches. A little under a quart. 18 of them fit into a 1020 tray

I could only fit 10 of these guys in a 1020 tray (used those last year). The 1020s took up just a little more space in the flood shelves than I liked, so I grabbed some trays from work that are made for these quart pots.

BDASPNY · Feb 11, 2020

what exact size are those square pots? I need to get some that evenly fill the 1020 trays.

Still a little too cold to put my peppers outside.

A very sweet Valentine's Day gift from my special gal to put out in our garden later on.
