Yes. That's a Topsy-turvey planting system. I mixed together a small bag of good potting soil, a small bag of citrus/cactus soil and a bag of Canadian moss. I took off about 4 of the bottom stems on my chosen tomato plant and gently put it through the x in the bottom of the bag. They provide you with a 1/2 inch of foam cut to fit the entire bottom of the bag which has a slice cut in it which allows you to put it around the plant stem that is now sticking through the opening. I then very gently added about 1/2 of the soil mixIt is Now July 3rd and I got these pretty yellow flowers. I guess feeding this darling with a "Cricket Poo" tea and boiled egg shell water has been a help because it sure is healthy looking specimen
And then on July 23rd, I went out with my special blend of water and I spotted these little beauties. There are 8 of those beauties with more to come. HOD--DAMN!!OMG If I wasn't afraid of cracking the concrete patio, I would have been jumping for joy. Fresh home grown vine ripe tomatoes. YUMMMMMMMMM!!!
A special close-up so you can drool like I've been doing. I'll try to remember to take a picture or 2 when these beauties turn a nice red and just before I pick them. Then a picture or 2 right after I slice one and salt/pepper my red gem in order to stuff my face with its sweet meaty flavors.
OJD ... I had better stop now because I need to go get a "drool-towel" so I can mop-up my desk top before my lap top floats away.
