They're a little over 2 gallons each, about 10" in diameter (for the round) and about 8" deep. My question: I have lemon gem marigold, fernleaf dill, purple basil, sweet basil, pepper basil, dukat dill, caraway, chocolate mint, and orange mint. At least two plants of each. Can I get two plants in each of these containers (and more in the oblong), or will that be overcrowding? I realize that each will need different space. I have other containers too, but these are the smallest. What can I reasonably fit in them? |
