How long are these roots or maybe a better question is how deep do the grow? I have collected many gallon jugs and plan to start filling them with 3-4 inches of soil. Since this is my first attempt, I was going to try with half of the seeds and place outside around Dec.21 or later, depending on how long it takes me to ready all these jugs It seems like from what I read, in the sowing link given above, it doesn't matter if you start them in the jug now or 4-6 weeks before last frost in spring because the jug replicates the outside environment the seed is In anyway.
