I'll have to try that next year. I have a planter on my deck (it's a good size one). I put a shepherd's hook in the pot and then I decided to put a second, taller one in the pot. I have one plant and a wind chime on the hooks but it would lend itself to an upside tomato plant.
I've had pretty good success. One plant did get ravaged by horn worms but that's to be expected. That's why I have 9 of them going--I'm bound to get a good crop one way or another!
I didn't have horn worms this year but I have only one tomato on a beautiful marglobe tomato plan. My MIL will get to eat it as we will probably be away on vacation when it is ready to be picked.
I am looking forward to starting also. I put some more broccoli seeds out - I hope these sprout. Broccoli is a cool weather crop so the spring window is not that long here. We have winter/spring one day and summer the next.
I found a great article about container gardening - It was suggested growing bush beans, eggplant, squash, cucumbers, and herbs. Then in August, English peas, lettuce, beets, broccoli, and cabbage. Tomatoes were not on the list but I will again try them.
I'm not the least interested in vegetable gardening, as I am to busy with the rest of my tropical paradise....but I think you ladies are giving me some incentive to do some container veggie gardening. Anyone got a few major tips to get me started?
