Upside Down Tomato

Bruce planted an upside down tomato this evening... can't wait to see how this works out.

He cut a small hole in the bottom of a hanging basket and inserted the tomato up from the bottom. I held the plant in place while he put a coffee filter between the roots and the bottom of the planter. Then he added the potting soil.

On the top, he planted a few impatience and a green pepper.

I handed the basket to him to go hang off of a shepherd's hook next to the patio. He stopped to water the plants, and forgetting the tomato was sticking out of the bottom of the planter, he had set it down on the ground. Oops. Luckily it didn't break the plant.
