Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter-UpdateReported by: Amy Mearkle
Tuesday, Sep 15, 2009 @11:45am EDT
***TEST IT TUESDAY REVIEW***
We are giving the Topsy Turvy a 4 out of 4 star rating. It took awhile to get our red tomatoes...but the plant bounced back after being on the verge of death. The plant has grown very large and there are numerous tomatoes on it. It held the water well and turned out to be a success.
UPDATE : August 26, 2009
The Topsy Turvy got off to a great start inside.
We then moved it outside in early June. We placed it beside our WTAJ building. The heat from the brick building and the dry summer almost killed our Topsy Turvy.
One of our Advertising Executives graciously took the Topsy Turvy home so it could grow in a partly shaded area and as you can see from the photos below....it is growing. We are hoping to avoid the tomato blight and are trying to keep the Topsy Turvy from being on the ground but it is growing so much that is hard to do. We now have green tomatos we will update when we have some red ones.
$9.98 plus shipping and handling
We are not giving the Topsy Turvy a review just yet. We want to allow the tomato plant to grow and see what happens.
It was pretty easy to put together, but there are a few times that you could use an extra set of hands .
We will keep photos updated on this site every few weeks so that you can see how our WTAJ Topsy Turvy is growing.
WEEK 14 - August 16, 2009 - Green tomatos - still growing.
WEEK 10 - July 21, 2009 - Starting to get blossoms and still growing
WEEK 1 -May 12th - 2009
