Tomato report - 2 weeks

Several of you have asked for progress reports on our upside down tomatoes.

These are the Beefsteak tomatoes planted close to the patio and in full sun from mid-day until late afternoon. The picture on the left was the day of transplanting the two seedlings. The picture on the right is two weeks later.


















These are the Better Boy tomatoes planted at the back corner of the house and getting a little less sunlight at this time. Later in summer it will probably get slightly more sunlight. Again the picture on the left is the day of transplanting while the picture on the right is two weeks later.












As you can see, the tomatoes are healthy and growing well although perhaps a bit frustrated with their current orientation. The branches that are more than 12 inches long are having no problem as they are completely out of the shade of the container.
