I got the tomatoes done yesterday and this morning I did the potatoes in plastic bags and one tub and planted some squash seeds and sunflower seeds and eggplant and now I'm done. LOL Well, I still have those lettuce seeds to put in pots, but tomorrow for those. Dooley

I found it on another site. here's the link but I don't know how to do links so you'll have to type it.
http:www.diynetwork.com/diy/gr_fruits_vegetables/article/0,2029,DIY 4463475,00.html You get a big black garbage bag. Roll it down to 1/3 and put in the soil. Plant your potatoes. Water them and watch them grow. Put holes in the bottom for drainage. As the potatoes grow, add more dirt, leaving a few inches of leaves sticking out. Roll up the bag when you add dirt. When the bag is full and the leaves start turning brown, stop watering and wait a few days and them you can slit the bag and take out the potatoes. I hope it's as simple as that. I have my bags sitting in metal tubs as I planted them in bags because the bugs ate them last time I planted potatoes and I thought if I cut holes in the bags the bugs could get in the bag. So, I put the bags in the tubs. Dooley
