Hi and thanks for your useful videos. I just watched the one about planting Petunias but I will be putting them in baskets this year, and was curious as to approximately how many plants are in that display in this video here. I see that it's not just Petunias but maybe just a rough idea for such a robust Petunia display? Thanks so much for any info. None of the stores or nurseries have the huge basket displays so I have to make my own and I have dozens and dozens of Petunia plants growing now, and I have no idea how many I need per basket/pot..

T Higgman, how many plants are in a basket depends greatly on the size of plant you are starting with and the size of basket you are growing. In a commercial operation we start with plugs so it is much different from a consumer planting their basket. In a 12" pot you should not plant any more than 4 of the 4.5" size plants. I hope this helps

It's summer and 100 degrees do I still just water it once a day?

[@ThePlantFarmSpokane]

Adrianna, Sorry I just now saw this comment. If it`s 100 degrees you definitely need to be watering in the morning and in the evening. If you water your basket and the water come directly out the bottom then the basket is getting too dry in-between waterings. You want the water to come through the bottom just not immediately. I hope this helps.
