Gargantuan tomato plant with no tomatoes?

by admin on August 20, 2010

My sister and her husband have been growing this tomato plant from one of those Topsy-Turvy growers, so it’s upside down. The thing’s been growing for at least four or five months. It’s now around 4 feet tall, but it has no buds or tomato plants. We’ve been watering it, and it gets plenty of sunshine. Any suggestions?

Upside Down tomato plant?

August 1, 2010

So I just planted my upside down tomatoes (I live in an apartment and it seemed like a good idea) and overnight they started to turn upwards.
