The Stakes are High

IMG_7947I do not have a green thumb…just ask my neighbors.

But this year I’m determined to grow something other than weeds. So I was pretty stoked when Jen gave me this Topsy Turvy tomato planter.

If all goes “As Seen On TV” then…

  • I can avoid breaking my back like all of the real gardeners
  • I should have tomatoes 4-6 weeks faster than all of my broken-back neighbors who plant tomatoes in the ground
  • Peter and all the other rabbits in my hood will go hungry (again this year) as this contraption grows on a hook and not close to the ground.
  • You will see more tomato recipes on this site than on the Food Network

And if it doesn’t work? I’ll just fix it with a little tomato paste.

Now I really must go tend to my garden, I’ll ketchup with you tomorrow!

I really can’t wait for your review of this. I’ve seen it a million times and since I live in an apartment with little space for plants, I’ve always wondered if it really works.
