Oh look, another post about nothing. I wonder why I’m not as popular as Seinfeld? The whole nothing thing worked for him! Of course there is that whole “he has talent, you not so much” thing.
Mothers day was fun, especially if you are into forced slavery for a day! Not that I was forced into anything, I still had my keys, I could have ran and hid! (Just kidding honey, you know I love you.)
We bought some of those topsy turvy planters and put our tomato plants into them. I will say right up front that I was slightly skeptical of these things, but equally curious. So I will be documenting the progress of these plants throughout the growing season. Let me first tell you that it is not easy getting your plant into the darn thing. Now being a good science student in my younger days I seem to remember that plants tend to want to grow towards the sun, so hanging them upside down is already against their nature. That said, lets take a look at their progress after 4 days:

As you can see, the plant is already curving up after only 4 days. It remains to be seen yet whether this is going to be a problem, stay tuned!
They have been plugging them on late night tv for a bit now, we got ours at Walgreens. They have a hole in the top that you pour water in, and smaller holes in the bottom so you can watch quite a bit of that water drain right back out!
Kramer was awesome, wasn’t he?
My grass only looks good in that spot, which is the reason for that particular angle for the photo! I cheated so no one would know just how horrid my grass actually is.
I’ll be anxious to hear how your tomatoes grow in the new planter. I was tempted, but planted them the old-fashioned way again this year.
Have a great weekend!
