Something else to consider. Some growers will pot plugs straight to gallon containers and some pot up into 4 inch first than shift up to gallons. If you want to save space in your garage the 4 inch route would be something to think about.

4 inch plants have other advantages. For 1 thing they drain faster so less chance for root rots when the plants are still small. Also there is lots more room for weeds to grow in a gallon pot when the perennials are small. Weeding pots is no big deal, but you can't do it in foul weather, where as you could be shifting 4in. pots up indoors in when it's raining.

I could see going either way.
