Upside Down Tomatoes

Have you ever seen tomatoes growing upside down? If not, you may see some in our high tunnel below the wash station. Carrie decided to experiment and see how they'll turn out. The plants are small now, but we hope that later in the summer you'll enjoy some of our big beef and sun gold (which are tiny) upside down tomatoes. The vast majority of our tomatoes are grown the normal way and they'll be maturing somewhat later than the high tunnel upside down tomatoes.

Here we see Dave Vernon installing the irrigation hose for the upside down tomatoes. The fact that Dave is a tall and handy fellow made him perfect for the job. We put up the tomatoes the day before, a job that provided a good work out for arms and shoulders.
