Plant your container crops at the same time you would plant your regular garden. Fill a clean container to within a half-inch of the top with slightly damp soil mixture. Peat moss in the mix will absorb water and mix much more readily if it is soaked with warm water before putting the mix in the container. Sow the seeds or set transplants according to the instructions on the seed package.

Put a label with the name, variety, and date of planting on each container. After planting, gently soak the soil with water, being careful not to wash out or displace seeds. When the plants have grown to having two or three leaves, thin seedlings to obtain proper spacing.
