Thank you for the link, Polar_Lace. SmartPots is already pushing it look-wise here. I need to stay married to keep my "sponsor" .
I hope you are having a great weekend. Annapet

WOW, Moonglow!! those SmartPots sure cost enough. I'd rather put 2 Glad Force Flex bags together for that price!
Not such (luck.) Not a good week or weekend for that matter. I've taken my cousin to 2 different doctors this past week; to the Emergency Room on Saturday (he fell on his knee replacement in the kitchen,) then when he picked up his meds today he fell in the Pharmacy, re injuring his previously broken ribs he got by falling in the bathroom 4 weeks ago. I just can't keep up with his injuries. I'm dog tired!

its so important to keep cost down when growing what ever you are growing,other wise you might as well just go and buy them.
The idea of using rubbish/garbage bags to grow potatoes is the way to go. |
