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!
