the DIY topsy turvy update - or, it's fun to grow inverted foods!




The upside-down planters we made are doing really well! We ended up with 2 5-gallon plastic buckets, and drilling 3" holes in the bottoms. Growing peas (supposedly tri colore! But i only see green ones so far) and tiny tomatoes. So far both plants seem deliriously happy! it makes me happy just to go look at them. There are about 12 teeny tiny greeen beans already formed! And many tomato buds...and a few lil green guys. Hopefully the pigeons won't get em. Will chronicle the developments. I'm beginning to believe one doesn't need a huge garden to grow a good bounty!
