The first step is decide on the pot. For the deck we prefer the plastic decorative pots from home improvement stores. Although you can use smaller pots,
we prefer 5 gallon pots (about 15" in diameter). Clay pots are nice but heavy and prone to cracking in the winter. They now have some really nice resin
and plastic pots that last just about forever. In the garden area we use the inexpensive black nursery pots.

Sprinkle some seeds on the dirt and press them into the soil. Gently water and keep moist until the seeds germinate. In a week or two you will have a small tortoise garden!

We have also put a seed package together It contain one packet each of the following: mache, Siberian Kale and turnip greens. Its only $9.95 for 600 seeds with free shipping.
