Now, two or so years ago, I read about growing a plant using the bag of potting soil for the container. Punch a few holes in the bottom of bag for drainage, then cut the top side away enough to get your plant into the soil and there is the pot (bag) with plant planted.

You mean like this:

I don't know about your climate, but I tried to grow plants in the 5 gallon buckets ( a similar technique)and the heat in central Texas caused them to go dormant. The plants grew, but wouldn't produce.

On the brighter side, I got my PINK Ruger 22LR rifle~

Pink? That's just so wrong. ;)

Thanks for posting this pic! Maybe I’ll be successful with tomatoes with this method...nothing else seems to work :(

That method just wouldn’t work in my garden. I have two cats that just LOVE to shred stuff....and since they get in trouble shredding indoors, they would go nuts on bags like that one....lol.

Thanks so much for the picture of the tomato plant growing in the bag. That’s the idea.

My husband grew tomato plants in large buckets here in southeast Texas and we had tomatoes.

Hmm, maybe growing them in bags would be cooler than putting them in large plastic buckets. The buckets would get really hot but the bags might not get that hot.

“Pink? That’s just so wrong. ;)”

Would you rather have a PINK rifle or none at all? Would you rather have a 25 cartridge magazine with it or none at all after those get outlawed?

See, I was looking for the Ruger 22 Carbine so I’d have a rifle I could handle along with that magazine. I watched every company I could find on line every day, hunting such a rifle. One morning, one of those companies had that PINK one and I grabbed my credit card and zapped it before someone else bought it.

When Hussein’s men come around getting guns, he’ll take your black rifle but he’ll think this PINK one is a toy. Now, my PINK rifle makes more sense, doesn’t it? It’s hollow points out of a PINK rifle are just like hollow points out of a black rifle.

Besides, I’m a girl. You guys can have your ugly black rifles and I’ll have my pretty PINK one. :o)
