Upside Down Tomato
You may have seen the commercial or seen many covers of the Gardeners.com catalog of tomatoes growing upside down. I don’t believe it works but I’m willing to give it a try. I have an extra hook outside my kitchen window. Instead of hanging a flowering plant, I’m going to try to hang a tomato plant. The picture above showcases my tomato — about 4 inches sticking out of an 18 inch pot.
The tomato hanger went up over the weekend. The concept is that the sun will warm the green bag of dirt and allow the tomato to grow faster and better. It was extremely easy to put together — the hardest part is not ruining the seedling while trying to get it in the planter.
Not that growing a tomato in the ground competes with a hanging basket, I’ll keep an eye on how the tomato plant does. It certainly is a good answer for someone who doesn’t have a full sun garden to grow your tomatoes in.
