Home Grown Salad :)

Eat it, topsy turvy.

-Or, you can send me about 1k USD and I'll send you an automated battery of hydro towers fit to the specs of your balcony?
(I jest, I jest......you'll have to buy them from someone else..lol)

So...who else is gardening or growing tomatoes......I want pics!....it's a fetish Sleepy

Thats an awesome idea.. i never thought about a home grown topsy turvy.. i would have to get the tomato as a small plug to get it through...

BTW, I picked my first tomato yesterday!!!! a tiny runt, but I'm proud of it none the less!!! Sorry, no pic... I still havent mastered the art of adding a pic to these threads

you can see it on my IG account if you'd like.. its @itsaflatworld
