Tomato Pictures ( & Upside down tomatoes)
Add cages to support the vines, this helps as the tomatoes ripen, as they
grow keep the vines under the cage wire, when the vine grows out the
bottom of the cage and turns up, keep the vine inside the cage as it
grows this will help support the tomatoes and keep the vines from
breaking.

G. also grows his tomatoes in barrels! Way to go!
I used a two gallon plastic bucket with lid, put a 2" hole in lid and two 2"
holes in bottom, put syrofoam in bottom to hold plants inside buckets,
installed deck mount hooks, planted 6 buckets of bush tomatoes, and
two buckets of yellow and green peppers. Everybody thought I was
crazy, but look who's laughing now!

Let gravity take over with this terrific
planter that elevates the planting bed.
Tomato plants grow downwards from
the 4 pop-out holes in the bottom, while
you grow additional veggies, flowers or
herbs on top in the normal fashion.

Drill holes, up 2" from the bottom of the bucket
