After much fruitless searching (and tomatoes are technically a fruit!),
I finally found the Juliet cherry tomato plant I wanted (like the one at the right from
Park Seed). The "Drat!" aspect is that the store had no more TT planters. In hindsight, I should have purchased one earlier when they were plentiful. I figure I have about a week to track one down before I will be forced to pot up Juliet in the traditional manner.
Seems as though seeds for this variety are easier to get than the plant. I don't have good luck starting from seed; the peppers I started this year are still puny 6-leaf seedlings despite being in large pots now for over a month. I might be motivated to try again next year with a favorite tomato. Maybe.
Where to now for a Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter??
None of the Home Depots or Lowes in the area have them?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately no, they are sold out - I seemed to have looked too late. I found instructions on YT for using a 5 gallon paint bucket instead, so I think I'll try that.
