The tomato's plants don't seem as big as the ones in my garden and they do dry out very quickly. I had a ripe tomato but it rotted on the inside. They make for great conversation if nothing else.

Did you post a picture somewhere? I'm curious how other's upside down experiment in going. Ours are doing pretty decent, except for one of the tomatoes that I let dry out too much and it's now trying to recover :-( Plus, the zucchini seems to be only half the size of the one planted in the ground at the same time and there are some lovely bugs that think I am growing zucchini leaves just for them to eat. Gardening is always a fun experiment. Misty How fun, Celia. Did you post a picture somewhere? I’m curious how other’s upside down experiment in going.
