Plant Stands and Planters
While working on the entryway I put a quirky little fern I picked up from Lowe's into this great plant stand. I also updated the breakfast room with a new plant and planter. http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/2013/0...
Gardening: I bought a somewhat leggy tomato plant and upon looking online to see
how to plant it, I found a video that said to put it into the ground sorta lying on its side but then pull it up into the upright position. Said the part underground would form roots and send up new plants (I think that what's she said). Shown here is a screen shot from the video showing how she's lying part of it down into a long hole in the ground. She also said to put some bone meal into the planting hole to produce more tomatoes instead of more green parts. Ideas on whether any of this is a good idea?
