PR, have you ever tried hanging tomatoes? :


Not yet, but it is easy, just select the cherry tomato variety. I'll try next season.

BUT! it is lot of work and plants need constant attention.
One neglect, and the whole thing gone down the tube.
I have grown most of these from seed.


would love to grow tomatoes, although dont have much info on growing them here (carib) we have currently plaintain, bananas, passion fruit, lemons, pumpkins, papaya, and Pana which I don't have a clue how to translate.

EDIT: Pana = Breadfruit (found it Smile)

Passion fruit, yum *lick*

I grow a bit of chili's and peppers, as well as tomatoes, apples, pears and a shit load of blackcurrant's. Last summer I picked easily over a 1000 blackcurrant's, but we've had to cut back the shrub this year as it was growing out of control. But apparently next year we should get an even better "harvest".

And pr126 your garden looks brilliant, congrats.

Love Passion fruit, weird enough it was the only one we did not plant it grew on the lemon tree (as a vine)

but looking on how to grow tomatoes, love them!

I also have peppers, chilies, cucumbers, carrots, aubergines, runner beans not in the picture.
The marigolds in the middle are to distract pests like greenfly or carrotfly, etc from the veggies.

It's a hobby with rewards.

Very nice. My mothers always grown her own veggies. You're right about the price of food going up. With a bad back and a small place, I can't really grow much of substance. A few window boxes with some lettuce, peppers and herbs perhaps. 4 by 4 foot shallow garden is not really apt to grow carrots and potatoes Smile
