First…Happy Father’s Day to all those Dads out there! It’s been about a month since we started growing. Everything is still pretty heathy, but some things are producing more fruit than others. Our son recently graduated high school with honors (ok……I’m a proud dad), so yesterday was his grad party. We had tents, tables, food and people all over the backyard. It was a lot of fun. There was a great deal of interest over the containers – upside down and right side up. Several people said they will be doing the same thing next year. Thanks for viewing and feel free to leave any suggestions or advice.

Hope everyone had a good 4th of July! Not much has changed. Everything still pretty healthy. Bell peppers are changing colors and the cucumbers are doing well. Tumbling Toms are producing several ripe tomatoes every nite. Be warned: I am now formally planning my garden for next year. Boy, am I gonna have some fun! My wife can’t believe we haven’t really even started harvesting a lot of veggies and I’m already looking forward to next year….LOL. Thanks for looking. Any advice, please leave me a post.
Another weekly update on our upside down and container garden. Broccoli struggling a little bit and one of my upside down tomatoes in a container is not as healthy as it’s “sister” growing right side up. Cucumbers are doing gang busters! Getting lots of tomatoes and peppers. Having a blast here! I’m sure you’re not here to read this anyhow….enjoy the video! Thanks for watching and if you have any suggestions, please leave them.
