Thanks Dave,

They have already amazed me with their growth
. I wasn't even sure I was buying viable plants and in two days I could see active growth! Depending on which trough I decide to locate them, they may get considerably more than than 4 hours of sun. The cattle troughs themselves are only about 2' deep. They are often called 'knee troughs' for a reason. The meter boxes are about 12". So sinking the one that has growth at the top of the waterline now won't be a problem if I set it at a deeper depth? I didn't expect such rapid growth so quickly.
I'm actually going to move another trough from the barn to the house (they alternate depending on my needs
) and I'll have a lot of leeway on where it's located re sun.
