Starting Tomatoes in Coffee Cans
By Nicole B.
When starting tomato plants, I cut the bottom off of an empty Folger's coffee can. Then I poke some drain holes in the lid, put the lid on, and turn the can upside down. I fill the new pot with soil and plant my tomatoes. When they are ready to go into the garden I just take the lid off the bottom and the plant slides right out.
This shark watermelon is a cute way to serve fruit at your next party. Check out this video and learn how to make one.
