How to set out your plants
Annuals and perennials in 4-inch nursery pots are inexpensive alternatives to bigger plants in gallon cans. And the smaller plants will catch up soon.
Before planting, amend the soil with organic matter and dunk the plant, still in its pot, into a bucket of water to soak the soil.
1. Dig a hole for each plant, making the hole about the same depth as the container and an inch or two wider.
