I sure will.<br /><br />Hey Bunny! I suppose I could have dug a hole and just dropped them there where I put the bag, but then I would have had to contend with weeds. This sounded so much more interesting! I'm anxious to see how they do, especially since they were suffering from a big of neglect in those little cells waiting for me to do somethin' with them!Mary | Deep South Dishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030573009618096220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-66200543825228670692009-04-30T18:57:00.000-05:002009-04-30T18:57:00.000-05:00We have extra plants after planting the garden too...We have extra plants after planting the garden too!

Some years' harvests are better than others, but I ALWAYS find it fun, and well worth the effort at least. I enjoy canning them too, when the pickin's are plenty! I have never heard of the epsom salt tip before. I'll try that!

I've been out in the garden so ...Hello ladies! I've been out in the garden so just gettin' to your comments. Today was fertilizer day for the veggies, so they all got a dose of the Pennington. More about fertilizing here http://mynew30.blogspot.com/2009/04/raised-bed-vegetable-garden-update-on.html<br /><br />Penniwig & Joyce, well... I can't take credit for the idea of planting in a bag - I heard about it years ago, but never with manure! I am anxious to see how it does. I just couldn't bear just tossing the remaining plants and I really had no other spot for them so thought it'd be an interesting experiment for the blog.<br /><br />Hi Kasey & welcome! I'm just doing small raised beds so mine are right by the house - I'm hoping that'll discourage the critters a bit. I have field mice, squirrels and racoons to contend with!<br /><br />Welcome to my little corner Lisa! Why not give it a try?<br /><br />Katherine, I have more about epsom on my fertilizer post, but basically epsom is really just magnesium sulfate. It acts as a booster for the plants, improving both the phosphorus and nitrogen uptake making your fertilizer work better, and makes your plants grow bushier. Since I started using it a few years back, I haven't had problems with blossom rot. Bugs, yes. But not blossom rot, which before I used Epsom salt, I did have.Mary | Deep South Dishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030573009618096220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-46238466860144538862009-04-30T09:50:00.000-05:002009-04-30T09:50:00.000-05:00wow, I really like this idea, how clever, and easy...wow, I really like this idea, how clever, and easy......great post!justjoyceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01315934844721199817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-45398521686179869602009-04-30T08:43:00.000-05:002009-04-30T08:43:00.000-05:00I haven't heard of the epsom salts, what does that...I haven't heard of the epsom salts, what does that do?<br /><br />We're trying the topsy turvey tomatoes this Spring too.

A friend of ours got one of those upside down ones & they like theirs. We'd have to put it in our lanai so we're still up in the air about it. I love the idea of planting them in a bag like that too. Just wish I had somewhere to do it that the critters wouldn't get to them. I've had them chew through screen to get to plants I've had in the lanai.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-45787697679206489262009-04-30T07:52:00.000-05:002009-04-30T07:52:00.000-05:00Great idea!
