I can water in the morning but since they're hanging inside down its hard to just water the base.

Topsy turvying them CowDoc?
Let me know how that works out for you, I have always been curious about those hangers.
It's not good to water at night, try that and they might clear up.
Good Luck.

Good Luck. I tried the Topsy Turvey's when they first came out. Worked great until my tomato plants got bigger & started to produce, then the wind picked up one day and snapped them off at the base.

I was wondering if you could make one out of a five gallon bucket..
Then I thought about getting the plant out of the bucket after it was dead...

The ones in the garden have a pretty wide root system. Yeppers, chop off at the base and dump. I was so discusted when my plants broke I just threw the whole thing away. Thought about trying the buckets before I spent the money on the Topsey Turvey's but didn't.

Yea they are in topsy turveys. I never tried it before so we'll see. They look great except for those few leaves. Gonna start watering in the mornings and see if that helps.

Have a few good flowers on our tomatoes now. a few are wilting away. Haven't seen any fruit coming out yet but the plants are growing great!
the bell pepper plants look pretty ugly right now. the leaves are breaking off mid stem on some. I'm not sure if it's a bug or what. Doesn't look like anything is eating them.
The jalapeno looked real sick but a few days ago it has exploded with new leaf growth.
strawberry plants are looking good and making some very small fruits.

That stuff is just sitting there with two leaves and 3 or 4 inches tall... not growing at all. The heat will take care of that some of the leaves are already starting to crumple/fall off. Will they bounce back when it warms up or should I start some more seeds?

Mine are in the same shape yours are Brandon A. Im just gonna wait it out til we get in the 90-100 temps and I bet they will bounce back and start producing. If they don't when it gets that warm, I will try more seeds.

Mine are hovering also, just wait awhile. They like it hot and dry.
You'll be cussing the okra shortly...

I still don't know what kind of soil is on the side of the house, but the stuff there is exloding again. Last year we had a tomato plant 6 feet high and about 6 feet wide, with hundreds and hundreds of tomatos.
This year, the plant on the side of the house has a baseball sized tomato already. They're cherry sized on the plants out back

I'm not all that happy with the small size of my tomato stalks, or are they called vines?
