I'd think the weight of the tomatoes would eventually cause them to fall to the ground. I imagine you have to watch/pick carefully. Interesting. Hmm.

I have a photo on Flickr <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23623825@N03/2366609277/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Supposedly it will keep the tomatoes up off the ground and out of the reach of ground dwelling pests and such. No idea if it works but we thought it would be fun to try! @no milk Oooh! Congratulations! That is exciting! You'll take pictures and share, right? @Linkmeister A young plant is placed through a hole cut in the bottom of a hanging container so the plant is upside down.

Are the growers upside down, or is it the plant which is in that position? Er, what’s the advantage of growing a tomato upside down?

Farmer's Market is good and there are others in Pahoa, Kea'au and in the parking lot of the old Food Fair, too. There's even a little fruit and veggie stand outside of Wal-Mart (of all places!). Hope to maybe someday have my own little stand in one of the markets. Who knows? @Linkmeister The vog has been nasty lately! I'm a little worried about "Romy," our hanging tomato plant experiment. First time growing a tomato upside down so I don't know what to expect. @no milk It is fun, yeah? It's teaching me patience having to wait for the seeds to germinate, grow up and wait some more to harvest! Me and "immediate gratification" are close like that. @pehea`oe?

Of course, you can't beat growing your own food. I can't wait to see your garden. I might have to check out this book, maybe they have it at my library. 6.00lb for green beans? crazy. when i’m on the big island the first stop for food is always the farmers market for veggies, best price and always really good.
