So it's almost official; my tomato is winning and my grandma's is pretty much dead. We took it out of her fancy upside-down hanger yesterday when I went to visit, and the roots never grew! The stem was splitting right where the roots start. I have not given up hope and transplanted it to a small plastic pot in the sun where I am hoping it may recover enough to be replanted. I just really wanted to win this thing fair and square, not because of a potentially faulty product!
I also got her a normal topsy turvy since I've had such good luck with mine. I'm on the lookout for another pair of determinate, organic heirloom tomatoes to plant in our new topsy turvys. Apparently I'm obsessed with tomatoes... I came home from Whidbey with another one, so now I've got 4 - 2 in pots and 2 upside down. I need some gardening gloves and vegetable scissors so I'm off to Fred Meyer. Pictures of the progress will be up soon!
