Upon further research and trying to keep the poor thing alive indoors until Spring. I found that if it were to survive at all, before the ground froze, I would have to: cut off what was left of the leaves, dig a semi-deep hole and bury the entire plant upside-down. I insulated it with extra soil and hoped for the best.
In April, after the last snow, I dug up the hibernating Hosta. I discovered that it was in great shape. So, I proceeded to plant it right side up, and wait for the first leaves to emerge. After about a week, it began to sprout! My first success as an outside gardener since I was a child. Everyday, the Hosta seemed to grow larger, stronger and more beautiful.
After a couple of weeks of feeling like a proud parent, I decided to create a Hosta bed. This is when the trouble began...

The commercial for the "Topsy Turvy" tomato planter was interesting, but I'm leery of buying stuff from TV infomercials. I Googled instructions on how to make one myself, and found a few good websites I came across and thought I'd share. If it doesn't work well I am not out the 20 bucks.

I'm leery of buying things from infomercials myself, Marty. Thanks for the links to the upside-down container making sites.
