Topsy Turvy upside down tomato planter....UPDATE

No, but in addition to my regular vegetable garden I'm thinking about trying this with some hanging pots with a hole cut in the bottom.

Put a creole in one last year...never produced

That sucks, I ordered one last night that comes with a stand, looks like a good idea


FWIW I also read somewhere that bell peppers do not do good in them but cucumbers and smaller hot peppers do good?

No, but the home made earthbox does work.

16 okra plants in one small box last year.

Update:

This thing is doing great, I have picked 2 tomatoes and I counted 24 green ones this afternoon with lots of blossoms still on the vine and it is almost touching the ground. I tried cucumbers but they did not make it, but the cukes I put in a pot are taking over and will be picking plenty by the weekend


BLT's this weekend with a cucumber salad

I went with roma tomatoes this year....have a tomato but the weight is bending the stem so much it may break...lots of blooms...we will see

Not yet, but I do have a lot of birds around the house, so as more of the tomatoes become ripe it may lead to a problem

You don't have any problems with birds eating them?

Not sure if I'm inviting trouble or averting disaster, but I have a bird feeder in the vicinity of my garden and so far I haven't seen the birds go near any of my tomatoes or anything else. They seem fairly content with the easy pickins at the feeder.

Are the tomatoes placed in direct sunlight or shade?
