Recently, my wife ordered me a hanging tomato planter. After a few years of small gardens, potted gardens on the deck and the occasional plant hidden in my wife's mulch beds, I started talking about the hanging planter ads that plaster my favorite tv shows.
She actually ordered me three of them and they arrived 2 weeks ago....so I planted a tomato in the first, hung it up and watered it. The second planter has three additional holes around the sides allowing for four plants. I planted three cucumber and one pepper plant, hung and watered it as well. The third planter is still in its box, a very lonesome banana pepper plant waiting to be loved, will go in that one this weekend.
As of this writing, the tomato plant has easily doubled in size ans has turned to grow towards the sun. The cucumbers have not changed much, but the pepper has doubled in size as well and has also turned towards the sun. So far I am cautiously optimistic.
Come back for part two, which I will write if and when I see the first blooms.
