That is really cool.
Do you just plant them upside down and wait for the plant to get confused and adapt? I love the idea of the fruit hanging down.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yup - really nothing complicated. You don't have to worry about staking because the weight of the fruit just hangs without straining the stalks. And supposedly the fruit is less likely to rot because it hangs free and gets better air circ.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's so cool!

So, I get to plant something upside down to confuse it *and* I don't have to worry about the staking thing? Sold!!! It's like a low-maintenance vegetal mindfuck. With home-grown tomato bonus.

Yeah, my dad's all about the crazy garden ideas. He plants herbs in a wheelbarrow so he can move it around the yard to follow the sun.

In other wild-and-crazy-on-a-Saturday-night news, my cat's nose is dry. That's bad, right?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
In theory, chives are sun-loving plants. But the ones I grew up with were planted in a northern, shaded spot, and the ones on my deck probably don't see more than 4 hours of filtered light a day.

Hee. Today the tomatoes, tomorrow the [geographic area of your choice].

I don't think so. My cat's noses aren't always wet.
I am going out by myself to see a band. I hope they've started by the time I get there.

As long as it's not really hot, I think dry is ok.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
One of my two cat's noses are dry right now.
Also, two out of two of them don't really like getting their noses touched.
Additionally, ow.
