Upside Down Tomatoes

I've been pretty pumped about having a "box" garden this year. You know, where you build something that looks like a big sandbox and you grow a garden in it. Well, as my belly grows and I think about the hot hot summer and the big big belly - I'm thinking I might scale the idea down a little. I am thinking of doing a couple of pots of tomatoes and having a little herb garden. I may add a few things here and there in pots, like romaine lettuce and possibly cucumbers - we will see. I ran across this idea today - it is so cool - I HAD to tell you about it!

For me, this will be cool. I can hang it right outside my door. I can keep it watered and fertilized easily. NO WEEDING! They say it's easier to keep bugs, birds and other varmets away from your tomatoes!

FIRST
You get a cheap hanging pot! Yay! That's easy!

SECOND
You put a hole in said hanging basket.
YAY! Easy, right?!
I am good at putting holes in things.

THIRD
Take your little tomato plant and pull all the dirt from around the root.
Stick the roots into the hole - from the bottom.

See the roots!


FOURTH
Plant another tomato plant - the right way.
It should look like this.

FIFTH
In a couple of months, it should be nice and beautiful!
Hopefully bearing many tomatoes for lots of salsa and salad!

YUMMY!

These are not my actual pictures - but what I plan to do - so I'll let you know how it goes! What do you think?! Is this idea such old news that I'm making a dummy out of myself by posting it?!
