I looked up the website and laughed at the back-breaking work man because my boyfriend built me a raised garden bed just so it would not be back-breaking and more enjoyable for me. Currently, we have 2 garden spots (the raised bed and a ground-level garden) and are growing: Tomatoes (the ones out in the ground level spot are as almost as tall as me!!), Tomatillos, Jalepeno peppers, Habenero peppers, sugar snap peas, pole beans, lettuce, spinach, onions, and carrots. I think that's all that we're growing, but the boy is always adding new veggies to plant! :o) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19146#post-417048 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:30:47 +0000 kittymom 417048@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Shepherds hook might work for me.... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19146#post-417045 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:25:58 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 417045@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Wished Spring would hurry up, then I can start raising tomato plants inside. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19146#post-417042 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:22:57 +0000 mollycat71 417042@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>It comes with all the hardware you need to hang it. Mine is hanging from the porch. I have regular tomatoes growing in it! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19146#post-417034 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:13:43 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 417034@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Great idea Deb. We have an actual shepherds hook here that Mr MS used to use when he was a shepherd, might be able to attach that to a fence post. Ive seen the shepherds hook hangers in the garden centres and often admired the beautiful designs of some of them. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19146#post-417032 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:12:09 +0000 WillowandWindismom 417032@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Can you only do cherry tomatoes or can it support the weight of grown up tomatoes? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19146#post-417031 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:11:41 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 417031@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sweet 100's are a good tomato plant for the topsy turvey. I didn't get one of those thing, but I have my tomatoes in pots hanging from a shepherds crook. I am harvesting my second batch tonight. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19146#post-417021 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:58:43 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 417021@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Why couldn't you use a shepherds hook that you use for planters? I haven't tried it yet but it seems like that would work. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19146#post-417018 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:52:15 +0000 kittymom 417018@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>OK, I get it now.... Is there a 'stand alone' hanger with it, or do you have to install a mollie bolt and hook (lol at mollie bolt) to hang it? What tomato plant did you select, MC?</p> <p>Our overhang on the deck is soo high, I don't think it would work for me if it isn't 'stand alone' </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19146#post-416992 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:31:23 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 416992@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I am so getting a Topsy Turvy planter for this summer.Not sure where I'll hang it but I'll find somewhere. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19146#post-416990 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:25:53 +0000 mollycat71 416990@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>You just get the planter and hanger. You supply the plant! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19146#post-416988 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:24:05 +0000 kittymom 416988@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MC, does it come with seeds, or did you choose your own seeds/plants? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19146#post-416987 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:18:59 +0000 mollycat71 416987@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Absolutely! But I got ONE tomato out of my plant all summer last year, this is so much better! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19146#post-416986 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:14:36 +0000 Annie R 416986@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I will be getting one soon, the key is in taking care of the tomato plants whether they are right side up or upside down. There is a nicely blooming topsy turvy from a deck in my neighborhood, the tomatoes look yummy! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19146#post-416983 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:06:01 +0000 mollycat71 416983@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I am the one with the Topsy Turvy tomato planter. Its a real dream. The tomato plant is as big as a bush and the tomatoes are everywhere on that thing and taste amazing! I have already eaten three tomatoes and they are MUCH better than in the store! I totally recommend it! All my coworkers and my sisters are getting one for next year! </p>
