By woofie | If you want to get an early start on a plant that is difficult to transplant, start it in a coffee can. Cut the bottom off the coffee can and replace it with the plastic lid, with a few holes punched in it for drainage. When it's time to set it out, you can either take the bottom off and slide the whole thing out, or just remove the bottom and plant the entire can. A pair of post hole diggers makes just the right size hole. |

My guys are Alaskan Malamutes; Linda's doggie has blue eyes, which is why I was wondering if hers was a Siberian Husky. Picky, picky, picky.....
