I made a quick stop to Home Depot to gather the supplies I need. I browsed the containers they had there, and there is quite a selection. I wound up buying a $5.97 #5 Nursery Pot. It's pretty large and I should be able to plant quite a few. Of course I'm not stuffing ALL of these radish seeds in that pot. Fortunately, I have the luxury of a big ol' garden bed that I can take advantage of as well.
If you don't have a container or don't want to spend the money on one, get creative! You can plant them in just about anything, as long as you can poke some holes in the bottom for the water to drain in (and preferably 6" deep). Here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling. Who knows, maybe I'll make a contest for "most creative".
- Old coffee cans
- Old yogurt containers
- Milk Jugs
- Soda bottles
- Rubbermaid Storage containers
If you work in the Bay Area with me, I'll be happy to provide some small containers that I have lying around the house, and to give any spare seeds. We could even group up on soil buying.
