OK, back to work. Since it's nearly apple-blossom time AND a nice day, we got busy and seeded up the "Pot-O-Carrots" for the season. It's a large planter, about 19 inches in diameter and 15 inches deep, holding about 12 gallons (43 liters) of potting mix. We use pelleted seed and plant in concentric circles with about ½ inch spacing. Pictures are an attempt to show what we do and what the scale is.

There is a bunch of beets embroidered on the bib of his overalls. He sits in front of a large terra-cotta colored plastic planter which is set up on a small, green seating bench next to a house. Yardstick for scale.
