TOMATOES DO GROW BETTER UPSIDE DOWN!

Taken in early September 2009
This summer I decided to experiment for the first time with upside down tomatoes like seen advertised on TV using instead, a 5 gallon bucket for greater plant growth.
It really works! The young tomato’s leaves will automatically begin curling upwards once the bucket is turned right side up and hung by handle.
A small plastic collar is fitted around the base of the plant to keep dirt from falling out of the hole, while leaving excess water drain.
I may have gotten too late of a start on my garden, because we had an abrupt cold, rainy ending to this Oregon’s summer. It is not over yet however, tomatoes are still ripening. Yum!
