Hey headhunter, it's great to have you here. I myself haven't posted in a long time. To grow outdoors you'll need the following:

A big pot (about 5 gals)
seeds (ONE per pot)
and to wait till mid april or around that area

I'm guessing you live in the north side of the US. Try to find a place for your plant that meets the following needs AS BEST AS POSSIBLE:

Full, direct sunlight
unseen (or camoflauged in any way possible)
and easily accesible by you and you only about 4-6 times a week.

Goodluck.
