Gardening Without a Garden

 

Girl In Garden

So what do you do when you love to garden, but don't really have the place to build an actual garden?  You try things like Topsy Turvey planters.  We live in a townhome and don't have much space in our yard (if you can call it that), so we usually just plant a few favorite greens in pots.  This year we added tomatoes and decided to give the Topsy Turvey a whirl.  Suprisingly - we're getting pretty decent results so far.

Here's our set-up.  Make sure to get a VERY sturdy shepards hook if you go this route.  After the 1st one we tried literally bent in half we had to go looking for a stronger option (and we lost a few plants in the fall).

Once the blossoms started coming in I started to get hopefull we may actually get tomatoes.

We also had a few visitors of the bug variety.  Currently using an organic spray to keep them at bay.

But LOOK - tomatoes!!  I can't believe these things actually work.  Keep checking back for updates.
