Upside down tomatos

~Upside Down Gardening~
Yep.... I'm giving it a try this year!!
Upside down tomatos, cucumbers, peppers, maybe strawberries!
So far, i've start a couple upside down tomato plants.
I will share my progress with photos, throughout the season.
My first attempt at the upside down tomato.
I started with a small plant,
and will see how it does!

I planted Marigold on top.. Have to have something pretty! lol Marigold is an excellent companion plan to the tomato, anyway.

So..... We'll se how it goes!

..More photos, later..
