I start all my stuff indoors after Valentines Day in peat or newspaper pots (google it) and then after the last frost of Spring, put them in the ground....pots and all.....some people start them inside just after New Years, but living in the South, mine work out good after Valentines.
Ill have to try it that way next year.. I did that with some plants but I sprinkled these around with mixed dirt in with my gladis then put my mulch down. i think it was to thick for it.. I had one tiny little plant of them LOL I will have to try again and yes i know NOW about the biodegradable pots!!! I bought strawberries and put them in my turvy and my husband watched me struggle to get them off and at the very end told me I could have just planted them pot and all!! yeah REAL NICE hahah
