Go tomatoes go
I am a bit jealous seeing pictures across the country/world of everyone’s baskets of tomatoes, but I am getting close to my first few tomatoes on their modest vines starting to turn red…I see some salsa in my near future.

2-liter bottle upside down tomato planter
Though my first attempt at an upside down tomato planter worked out great, I have a habit of forgetting to water the plants everyday. More commonly when we have decent rains when only the hanging tomato planters need to be watered. So this year I have modified my design a little to make this a little easier. As a bonus you can create this new version much quicker and…

Fingers crossed! We had luck with the cherry and wild tomatoes (same size) and now even one bush tomato with ordinary sized fruits. Mind you, that is after a few years of trying our best.
