I personally have never tried them yet, but they do look interesting. A friend of my mothers swears by them! LOL

She only has a small patio to grow plants and she said that it did spectacularly!

If you do try it, you realize that your are going to have to post pics!

I personaly don't like the upside down tomatoes they seem to collect some kind of residue on the bottoms lol maybe I just did it wrong I love to plant in fact have started the sun flowers and pumpkins with the kids inside already but I just am not very good at it My answer is just plant lots and hope some make it

just wanted to warm people alot of things are very dangerous to dogs SO check before planting. I know tomato plants are Number 1.

Thanks for the reminder!

I have always read that it is the green parts of the tomato plant that contain Solanine, which is the toxin. The fruit itself is ok as it seems to metabolize the chemical in its maturation process, but you are right, there are sooooo many things that we take for granted in the garden that are poisonous to our pups.

I just love having your own lettuce around! Especially when you are paying $4 and $5 for it in the grocery store! LOL

This year I have a mesculin mix that looks pretty interesting that I got from Seeds of Change. Cannot wait to see what it does.

I LOVE your philosophy! That works for me!

I just love sunflowers, they are like the friendliest flower imo: easy to plant and a fantastic show when it grows!
