i'd like to try those hanging upsidedown planters. only if they sell them at lowes or hdepot though, those tv 800 numbers tend to compromise your cc number. looks like the cold weather took out 80 percent of Florida's tomato crop! I saw some at walmart the other day. Not sure if they are the same ones advertized on tv. |

Tomatoes that is. I've had poor luck the last 2 years, maybe this year will be better. Edit to add, I just found this article good article,were going to try the tomatos again,along with some grapes,and rassberries.we'll see how my wifes lemon tree does,and hopefully our pomegranets are a little bigger this year. |

I just use a five gallon bucket that I drill a 1.5 inch hole in the bottom. Yes, the bucket is bigger than you need but in my case it was free since I seem to always have a few laying around. With the bucket hanging in the right spot, you can plant other plants in the top of the bucket while the tomatoes grow out the bottom. Basil seemed to work well. One of the best things about upside down tomatoes is that it is actually easier to protect them from frost since they are so mobile. If you are too lazy to carry them into the garage to hang at night, just take a black lawn trash bag (may need to double bag it) and pull it over the hanging plant and secure around the bucket with a bungee. Too easy. I still have a lot to learn in order to get it really dialed in, but this seems to be a good start. |
