THey got the small pots cos the tomatos, cucmber and sweet peppers had the big ones..... didn't seem to have any problems with rot, if you picked them up then there were roots to the bottom of the pot..... the plants were covered in chillies and they all went orange when I let it dry out in September..... then I discovered that they really weren't joking about how hot Habaneros are..... pickled onions and pickallilli that you measured by the blast radius.....
