Topsy Turvy Upside - Down Tomato Planter — 

The Topsy Turvey planter was a birthday gift to me from my parents (yes...I asked for it).  I live in the city where I have no yard to grow my own veggies.  I was hoping this might be a solution that would allow me to grow tomatoes and not take up much space.  The fact it hangs was appealing to me so rodents wouldn't get in my plants (the joys of living in the city).  When I put my tomato plant in it started growing like crazy over the first few weeks.  Although it got big in size, I was disappointed to see that I was not getting any tomatoes other than one that was on the plant when I bought it!  Granted, I am thinking now I could have watered it a bit more and maybe fertalizer would have helped, but I still was hopeful.  At this point I have eaten one tomato off the plant (yummy!) and I have three small ones slowly growing.  I am going to try to plant earlier next year and maybe try some red peppers too.  Very cool idea, but I might need to modify next year.
