I have a little trick that makes me feel like quite the Martha/Green-thumb type...the soil dried up really quickly in the planter, so when I would water it, nothing would absorb and it would all just run down the inside of the bag and right back out the bottom. SO! I dumped a huge cup of ice-cubes inside (there is about a 6-inch gap between the top of the soil and the lid) and poured another large cup of warm water over top...luckily I didn't shock the plants to death...but the ice cubes allowed the soil to absorb water slowly and become more "friendly"...and it worked! I did that 2 or 3 days in a row and now no more watering problems!
Tah-Dah! I can't wait until they all ripen up!
Here is one of the beef-steak tomatoes...and soon to be 3 of his neighbors to the left
and this is the "other kind" that I don't remember the name of...going to town!

so jealous!!! I almost bought one after you said that the other day while I was at home depot but I dont know where to hang it. But I might have to go get it now. My tomatoes are struggling big time, Im sure nothing will come of them this year. The squash however has taken over the entire garden and eaten everything else I planted. Enjoy your matoes, yummy!!
