We're trying to grow new plants and use different types of containers to do so.  One thing we're trying is growing potatoes in a recycled bushel container.  I punched holes in the bottom for drainage.  If (keeping my fingers crossed) this works, the vines should look really pretty coming out of the top.  I put a layer of organic container soil (not potting soil, container soil!) in the bottom, placed the seed potatoes on that and then covered with another layer of soil.  We'll see what happens!

Romaine lettuce~ Regrowing from kitchen scraps!!

I started these in water for about a week and then  moved them to their new home.  So far so good.  The plants are adjusting nicely.  Now that our nights aren't dipping down into freezing temps, I may just start transitioning them outside.  I love finding ways to save money.  And who doesn't love a good salad?
