Upside down tomatoes!

One day, I was watching tv and I saw a comercial for a product that allowed you to grow tomatoes upside down.  I thought “now, that’s cool!”  So, I got on-line and typed in “upside down tomatoes”.  I found many links to the company that is selling the product and then I found even more links to blogs and review sites about how bad that company was and how badly they treat their customers.  After that, I found alot of links that explained how to actually grow tomatoe plants upside down without buying that stupid product from that stupid company.

These are just a couple good sites I found, there are many other good sites you can find.

All you really need is a 5 gallon bucket, alot of soil, a tomato plant and somewhere to hang it.

It sounded easy enough and like something I would like to try to do, so that is what I did/am doing.

I grew about 16 tomato plants from seed (8 Roma and 8 Beefsteak) and they are all getting very big and ready to go outside.  I chose 1 of the Roma plants and put it upside down in a bucket.  I planted some Italian Parsley and Sweet Basil in the top of the bucket and hung it between 2 of my trees in the back yard.  So far, so good.

It has only been 2 days though, so nothing really to report at all.
