I think cherry tomatoes is the way to go.

I see...The Topsy Turvy never caught on with me... <br /><br />I see a lot of them around the neighborhood but growing things like veggies upside down just dosen't appeal to me.. <br /><br />P.S where did you find Liquid kelp? <br /><br />I posted a comment on my blog about your cool little tomato stalk in that jar of water with the kelp' how is it doing?Vetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904220037223028054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024445953203433265.post-72743887519287770022010-07-23T22:04:19.234-06:002010-07-23T22:04:19.234-06:00goneferal--thanks, it's not a huge loss but it...goneferal--thanks, it's not a huge loss but it's kind of a bummer. and i noticed that, that i was having to water the containers constantly...it probably is better for milder climates. <br /><br />shari--that's how mine was! actually i think i have maybe two other plants that haven't set fruit, but still, for a method that's supposed to make them grow faster, umm, not so much. i hope yours produces and doesn't suicide like mine.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17114229789417525889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024445953203433265.post-76219197595936984422010-07-23T18:26:57.693-06:002010-07-23T18:26:57.693-06:00My topsy turvy is the only tomato plant I have tha...My topsy turvy is the only tomato plant I have that hasn't put out fruit yet this year.

We did cherry tomatoes upside down last year and they did great, but the topsy turvy is not made for our climate, we had to literally water three times a day to keep them from drying out.Goneferalinidahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10001720343818923656noreply@blogger.com
