Week 3

So today was week 3 of the experiment. And I must say I have continued to be impressed. There is lots of new growth and on the cherry tomato lots of flowers. It's getting harder to water them now because of all the new growth as I have to stand on the ledge to reach the top. Not a bad problem to have I suppose. But I guess I'm going to have to break down and get a watering wand pretty soon.

Topsy Turvy Experiment

Yesterday was the 2 week mark in my experiment. I must say that I'm pleased with the results so far. I've seen noticeable changes and growth. You can see where the branches are curving upward towards the sun. And on the cherry tomato there has been more sprouting of flowers. A small green tomato has formed and continues to grow bigger and bigger. So all in all I'm pleased. Hopefully the rest of the experiment will be pleasing as well.

7 days into the experiment. Not bad I suppose but I must confess I am quite impatient and wanted to see more growth.

Here's the Cherry Tomato: Day 7

The Great 'Topsy Turvy Tomato' Experiment

Last year before I left Grandma heard about something called Topsy Turvy. It's a planter for tomatoes. There is a hole in the bottom where you insert the seedling in. Then you fill the rest of the bag with potting soil. It's suppose to help them grow better and bigger. The bag is suppose to work like a greenhouse. And then you won't stakes or cages to keep the tomatoes from falling over. It's also suppose to be great for those who don't have space for a garden. And the best part is you don't have to weed. So we shall see how this goes. Today is day 1. I will keep you updated on how it works.
