    Default I Find This Fascinating

    We are going to be growing our tomatoes upsidedown this year.
    ( At least our cherry tomatoes )
    Here is a link I found.
    What are your thoughts of this?

    Anyone else want to try and we could compare notes

    I was going to try container gardening this year. This looks like it would be great for cherry tomatoes. I think I'm going to try this!

    my godmother could grow anything, right-side-up or upside-down.
    and she did a great job doing just this!

    the most important thing is to make sure the plants are properly fed/watered and get enough sun (so no hanging under an awning).

    but otherwise, it freed up the ground under where she hung the tomatoes for flowers or other veggies she wanted to grow. makes for a unique looking garden and is relatively practical.

    good luck!

    Gripey got a gizmo for doing that 2 years ago. He can grow anything I swear but that didn't work out so well. I hope you have more success than he did.

    That looks very interesting. I want to try to grow some tomatoes this year. I am going to print that article and talk to DH about it. Thanks for sharing.

    I've been wanting to try that. I just don't have a place to put it. Let us know how it goes.

    I'm wondering if you could do pickling
    cucumbers this way also.
    We are going to do plum and cherry tomatoes

    I'd love to,but my fiance is allergic to tomatoes(he can only eat a few specific brands of sauce).I've thought about the strawberry setup they have though...
