Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter

Brian here... we're now on week 5 of our green thumb experiment. We don't have a yard, we have limited space on the balcony, and we couldn't drill a huge hole in our apartment's stucco so we had to get creative. Ingredients: 1 Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter, 1 gargantuous flower pot, 1 ginormous shepherd's hook, 1 'S' hook, 20 feet of nylon rope, 1 bag of gravel (yes, we bought rocks), 1 basil plant, 1 cilatro plant, 6 tomato plants (including one called Mr. Stripey), and 2 bags of PATIO Plus all natural outdoor potting soil (ready to use, no mixing required... complete with worm castings, kelp meal, bat guano and chicken manure -- as I'm writing this I'm realizing that we shouldn't let Charlie play in the "dirt" anymore).

It's been great so far other than the stress of shoving all the plants through tiny holes, hoping you didn't kill them before they were even planted. Anyway, here's how the little beauties are doing (The cilantro is in the flower pot, the basil is on the top row of the Topsy Turvy, and Mr. Stripey is upside down coming out the bottom)...
