Tomato?

That is a very creative idea, as long as the birds don't develop a taste
for tomatoes. It would only have a couple of quarts (litres) of soil to
grow in though. A very intriguing idea.

Thank you,

One of my favourites in this category is clerodendron tomsoniae
(spelling?). I forget exactly where you are but I am pretty sure it
is too cold to grow it outdoors. I guess you are describing
outdoors. Oh well I just love the combination of flowers and
folliage, colour and form. Maybe if you have a hothouse.

I'm in a USDA Hardiness Zone: 9

The Clerodendrum thomsoniae, USDA Hardiness Zone: 10 to 11
Nice plant but it is a climber, not a cascader.
Thanks.

I have grown it as a cascader in a hanging basket where it grew well and
looked great, it had multiple growing points and hung down all around about
60cm (2 ft in primitive measure) or more.

Nice but not perennial.

Some others weren't as well. I'm not stuck on perennial. I just tink it
would be more convenient.

It's a beautiful plant, but it would have to come in during the winter,
and after Feb.,it would be competing for the grow lights.

Emilie,
thanks for some options. I'm looking them over.

Wow, G. sanguineum 'Elke', good to region 4.

For your slugs and snails, you may want to try some "Sluggo". The Active
ingredient in it is iron (ferric) phosphate. Home despot has their own
version too, but they all seem to be about the same price. Non-toxic to
kids and pets (unless you have a pet slug;O).

Yes. Thanks Billy. In fact I do use Sluggo, but I am all out of it and
as it's
pretty expensive was hoping not to buy any this spring, and make it to
the
time of great heat when s&s go to sleep.

Yap, that's right, all the tomatoes in my garden are eaten by pheasants ((
