Topsy What-y

Opa gave us some tomato seedlings. I think the whole upside down tomato planter "as seen on TV" is pretty cool, but it looks cheap. So I followed the family motto: why pay for it, when you can build it. I had a 4x4 and some 2x10 laying around, so for the price of the hanging pots and the metal hangers, I have my upside-down tomato plants. I drilled holes in the bottom of the pots and me and J put the plants through the holes. A little newspaper to hold the soil in. Some potting soil. And I even planted some basil and such on top of the pots. Mel says it looks very "HGTV". I think I want to add a cap on top of the post for asthetics. or a rooster wind vane...
We'll see in about 2 months whether gravity defying tomatos are really all the commercials make them out to be.


Sorry for the crude pic... it's dark out- but you get the idea
