Nice find Chili! I think my containers are pretty original.

The plants are all doing well and starting to turn upwards to the sky again. I'll post a pic later on. 8)

Right then I had a spare tomato seedling so upside down it has gone, on my back wall inside a 5 litre bottle.

Hey everybody :mrgreen:

Great to see your tomatoes are going really well Shiney and Muddy! Still haven't got a roundtuit meself yet :oops: , might have to wait till the weather warms a bit.

Don't know if this has been mentioned but another good idea is to plant some shallow rooted herbs in the top as well.

Cheers guys,
Sandy

They'll look even better with little tomatoes on them! Anyone got any ideas what I can safely feed them with?

At least the slugs can't get them up there! :lol:
