I was planning to test a couple along with buckets and bottles for my upside down planting this year, but both my local Walmart stores have sold out and so has Home Hardware. I'm really pleased I got to see one up close (thanks to your lovely pics) and I'll be checking back to see how they do.

If you were not growing anything under them you could probably hang them 5 feet off the ground. Can't wait to try the chard!<br /><br />Granny - Maybe you could root a cutting and still try your upside down plant this year.<br /><br />Vegetable Heaven - I have never added flowers to a salad but I should really try this year. I have borage & pansy's so I will give them a try. <br /><br />Daphne - I wish I could have planted the chard much sooner but the bed had to be done first. The planters are really heavy, probably 3 times the weight of your average hanging basket. The hold an enormous amount of soil, about 17 liters or 4.5 gallons. <br /><br />Laminated Garden Guides - They are a ways up there but that is the only way I could still grow a tomato under them in the soil. Good thing I am tall.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-50603957627086441662009-05-21T10:14:01.280-04:002009-05-21T10:14:01.280-04:00Excellent post on how to plant upside down tomatoe...Excellent post on how to plant upside down tomatoes, I love the pictures!

I thought about those upside down tomatoes too. I just didn't think I could find a place that would hold a heavy pot like that.Daphnehttp://daphnesdandelions.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-49642492990398762552009-05-21T03:43:33.886-04:002009-05-21T03:43:33.886-04:00You, like me, love a colurful salad obviously!

It's my first year growing it and I usually just grow the green.<br /><br />Do you use flowers on a summer salad? I use nasturtium, borage, day lily, pansy, calendula - really cheers a plate up!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12841961223771293021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-36864424187623679552009-05-21T00:32:50.596-04:002009-05-21T00:32:50.596-04:00I'll be watching for reports on those tomatoes!

I'd still like to try it...maybe next year!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-84020928984841374672009-05-20T23:51:21.583-04:002009-05-20T23:51:21.583-04:00Well that clinches it...

I am not a tall person and that is a significant reach - even with a long watering wand! <br /><br />I will be interested in seeing how these do for you though. Have heard mixed reports on them. <br /><br />The greens look great and as you know... I think swiss chard (particularly "Bright Lights") are highly underestimated plants. So productive, tasty, and beautiful.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-40894333872525021672009-05-20T22:28:23.435-04:002009-05-20T22:28:23.435-04:00I will keep everyone posted on their progress.

They seemingly should do well, they hold lots of soil so they shouldn't dry out to fast.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-82456865540948572862009-05-20T21:49:50.360-04:002009-05-20T21:49:50.360-04:00I get a lot of emails asking about those upside do...I get a lot of emails asking about those upside down tomato grow bags.
