Just curious if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, tips or tricks for how they put their tropicals in the ground in the warmer months, then relocating them to the greenhouse or indoors for winter. I saw something on a gardening show once where someone had larger pots in the ground, then the plant was planted in another pot they would just drop down for summer and pick up and relocate to shelter for winter. I thought that was a neat idea (so long as the plant can stay in that container for a year or two. These were regular pots that your plants might come in from a local nursery or box store.

Just curious about what some of you with more experience than I do in these situations. Or do you just redig them up and repot them?
