Got 8.75 lbs of romas this week in garden. So the topsy turvey was a failure on the squash,powdery mildew still got em.  However the cherry tomato is doing very well,lots of fruits.Plus Im going to try to bring it indoors and see if it will survive the winter    |

Planning to move my topsy turvey indoors,think on a pulley to lower to water,strand LED lights in leaves,2 CFL on pole lamp shining and in the window in front room.Its probably 6 foot and nicely loaded with fruits. I call it a fine success.    |

It looks good for now. Don't forget to give the blooms a little flick or shake to help with pollination once they're inside. I hope moving them will extend the season for you.
I might plant a cherry tomato next yr. I had "Black Cherry" a few yrs back. Massive production, only problem they split in the fall rains. Grandson's GF was PG at the time, I gave her most of the production of BC's, she loved them. I am convinced they are high in nutrients, that baby (now 3 yrs old) is smarter than both the parents together! LOL ;D
