| Re: Question about bell peppers. I can't imagine growing the bell peppers upside down, not sure how their stems would hold up to gravity.
We have very good luck here with volume in our garden, except for corn! Of course, we had rain for something like two and a half straight months last summer. Sure that helped, the cloud cover helped keep from scorching the tender produce.
My Sweetie had more fun and grew to love my initial piggie, Little Skittles, as she'd wheek every time he came in the kitchen and would pop a homegrown cherry tomato in his mouth... she wanted hers, too!!! He had a friend; now we have four little girls and he has more fun seeing them each display their own individual personality for their fave vege.
We have constucted a green house to start plants, since we can't plant until June in our location. I can't imagine how tomatoes would gro upside down, this I'd have to see. Will search the internet for such a product to understand it better. I can't help but imagine that you won't still have to "dig" the tomatoes out from the leaves. Hmmmmm I never had a problem with them falling off the vines, unless they over-ripened.
The cost of produce has absolutely sky-rocketed with the recent fuel pricing. But the piggies do reign in our household and they will not go without... |
