my hanging tomato garden...wow look at the eggplants now

[jihadacadien]

A hanging garden that's pretty cool and great way to reuse!

[kokonutbaby1]

i see you're using milk jugs but what is that thing you're hanging it all on? pvc pipe? how did u set that up?

[skayc1]

I used the larger size pvc piping to build frame, andthe 1/2 inch size to put the handles of the milk jugs through, and placed them on top of the frame.

Your squash was getting too much water is what it looked like to me. Rotting and dropping off when about thumb-sized is a sign of too much water. Cut back and within 7-10 days the problem should be resolved.

very very clever, how did you cut out the hole? how big? what kind of soil mixture?

[atbbtb]

do i see milk jugs? how did you make your planter?

so clever

[skayc1]

yep I used milk jugs! I cut a hole in the bottom and put the tomatoes in, then put plants on top.

Hey ((((Sharon))) quit teasing us with all those gorgeous tomatoes...I swear I can taste them from here hee hee I never had much luck with squash but I'm hoping someone out there has so they can help you grow & enjoy them. Love the colors of the marigolds so much :))) xoxox

[skayc1]

My nieghbor gave me an idea that I will try next year, the squash needs more room to grow. I cant wait till the larger tomatoes get ripe!!

[skayc1]

thanks, yep it seems to be growing really well...except for the "blight" my squash is getting.

[Mooalah]

That's what cerry tomatoes are for I always plant one in my garden for just eating while I pick others and weed!

[skayc1]

I enjoy picking them! and dont have to weed them cause they are upside down!
