Well this year I was going to plant two upside down and hang them by the shop. But the spring was so wet that I had tomato that needed transplanting and no where to put them. So I put a couple in the top of each hanging bucket, and the have done really well. They are still green and bushy one plant has 18 tomatoes and several blooms on it still here in the middle of Nov. While the ones that did get in the garden have been done for over a month. Larry [Reply]   [No Email]

We generally get a 'bumper' crop. This year she did about 12 buckets worth. Nothing nicer than a 'mater right offn' the vine. However there was some problems with 'blight', bugs etc. The worst part is; there is an organic/hydroponic farm 10 mins. away from here that sell GREAT fruit for less than the time and effort to grow the darn things. Still gots some green ones.   [Reply]   [No Email]
