Upside Down Tomatoes

Matt got me an upside down tomato garden for my birthday, and we've been patiently watching two tomato plants grow for the past couple months. There are several promising looking specimens, and I hope that we have some nice sunny days so that they ripen quickly!

The two varieties we are trying are Bella Bush and Patio (both are determinate).

Our first tomato was a sad little guy - early on in his life he had a run in with a caterpillar and he barely recovered. He was quite delicious, and I was so excited to eat him that I didn't get a photo!

The second tomato might win a competition for smallest tomato ever. He managed to grow right in the shadow of the grower so he never got much sun. See what I mean?
