Months back while stumbling around the interweb I happened upon the Topsy Turvy™ Upside-down Tomato Planter and thought - I have gots to get me some! How Cool is that?!?! Grow tomato plants upside down from a hanging basket! And perfect for us yard-less city dwellers to hang on our deck/patio/lanai.

In usual fashion I let time slip by and now I hear it is almost too late in the season to plant tomatoes. I have no idea if that is true or not because I have never planted anything in my life. But, what better time to start. I quickly googled ‘upside down tomato planter’ to find that about 60,000 other people are growing tomato plants in the abnormal direction. After scanning a couple articles I ran to Fred Meyer and picked up a couple tomato plants (a Tumbling Tom and a Window Box Roma), a couple 5 gallon buckets, some potting soil, and some hanging hardware and I was off.

After a few minutes - wahla! I’ve got a couple of my very own upside down tomato plants! Now bring on the summer sun and lets see if they produce any juicy red goodness! I’ll report on the progress later this summer.
