I grew a sweet 100 and it did ok...but not like it should have...so I'm going with the bush

stu30kat@msn.co,
It does matter to some degree. Clay pots are very porous and the evaporation of water is quite rapid. I use the plastic ones that look like they are clay. During hot summer days they still may need water everyday.
