Curiosity getting the better of me, I decided to try growing an upside down tomato plant, and being frugal, I made a planter out of a five gallon bucket It isn't as fancy, but why spend $20 if you have the parts?.
It has been outside for two weeks now, and is getting stronger, but there is one thing that I noticed; The main stem/stalk/trunk of the plant has started growing up, and I am assuming that after it sets fruit and they begin to grow, the stalk will grow downwards.
Which leads me to this thought/questions:
If the stalk is growing up, even though it is facing down, are the roots growing down, even though they are facing up??? Sounds almost like a paradox.
Would this add stress to the plant?
I also decided to put it up on an old pool deck, so if it starts to really grow I'll have enough support to just drape, and tie it around the deck.
As an ongoing project I'll update on an irregular schedule, maybe every two weeks.

ooo. personally i think they do sleep but not in the way humans and animals do... how else could you explain things like seeds being able to go "dormant" for years at a time.
OOOOO... i'm so excited...... i just have to say it.. I got it.. i got my student loan.. i'm going to college
I was wondering... Since our climate can fluxuate during the summer usually mid teens to mid to high twenties... up to low thirtys with the humidex. is there a specific strain of tomato that would grow better then others. And when ripe what are the tomatoes like? *some taste different, sweeter, you get what i mean i hope lol* and how big are they? I have a farm supply/animal feed/pet product store here that i think i might be able to find a few different kinds at
I bet the guy at the store might know what's good for your climate. I always try a couple different varieties, just to see what happens.
K... your awesome.. i apprechate it.. and no i have not ever heard anything on that site so i am going to take a look.. and i'll look into the fellow and maybe call him. i'm going tomorrow to check my farm supply shop to see what they can get and if i cant get what i want i'm pretty sure that i could find them online and order them Ohh dont you love the net
