I noticed a lot of you saying how he should plants straight into the ground, and dont get me wrong, The best idea is to do so. But i was just thinking, if its anything like my case, I have to have the pots. I NEED to be able to move my plants around if something happens. I have a lot of family that comes over, and i have neighbors on both sides of me who seem to be very nice (KNOCK ON WOOD) but i also keep them out of sight. i have quite a few trees in my back yard. But also, towards the end, The weather in my area becomes inconsistant. I live in california near the coast and we have some of the most strangest weather. It can be sunny and 15 minutes later, its gonna rain.
