hanging containers for tomatoes

**Mischka** · February 17, 2006

I have a few friends that live in urban areas, where the only place they can grow anything is on their balconies or decks.

I've been trying to get one of them to grow tomatoes; my questions to you are:

1. Have/do any of you grow/grown tomatoes in hanging containers or baskets? Upside-down or right-side up?

2. Do you make your own containers, or buy them?

I've seen these advertised too:

I'm looking into the hanging type because her balcony is quite small and floor space is limited.

I'll be starting the seedlings here and would like to surprise her by sending something to grow them in, too. :wink:
