I haven't personally grown them, DH doesn't want to, but our neighbors
have been doing it for years with good results. The 'maters look and
taste wonderful. Someone is very stubborn, and doesn't want to build
the structure to hold them.

Well, I hope to have the time this week to do some, and I will report in.
I'm looking forward to it. It seems like it's going to be easier than
weeding, and the hit and miss watering we have here. On some days, the ag
water pressure is low, non existent, or the skunge in it plugs up a head and
you don't notice it until the plant is dry and in shock. I think the
buckets may be a little more easily managed.

Well, you guys have motivated me to try it. I have some 5 gallon
plastic buckets and about a half dozen sprouts I haven't transplanted
yet....

It doesn't look like rocket surgery, and if it works, next year
I'll decorate
my front yard with little pinatas with tomatoes growing out of them...
,,,,, assuming my wife agrees, of course... :)))))

PS I bet that tomatoes grown upside down would make a
great topping for anti-pasta ........
