Hello to all my Topsy Turvy® friends!
What a dynamite tomato season it’s been for me so far! My own Topsy Turvy® Upside Down Tomato Planter yield has yielded like a machine! Further, I couldn’t be more pleased with the constant flow of YOUR emails, letters and pictures (from all over the United States), sharing your own tomato successes with me.
Some of your pictures deserve a “DOUBLE WOW!”
Hey- let’s not forget tomato season is NOT OVER YET! My personal Topsy Turvy® Planter has yielded so far 20 big, ripe, delicious tomatoes and my Topsy Turvy Tomato Tree® (that grows THREE tomato plants simultaneously) has yielded over 60 delicious tomatoes so far with many more green tomatoes and blossoms forming on both! I expect to be growing, picking and eating red, ripe “Home Grown” tomatoes loaded with sugar and acidity all the way until the first frost.
We’re already furnishing our entire neighborhood with tomatoes. Suffice it to say, my beautiful wife, Joyce, and I are the heroes of our entire block! They have officially nicknamed me, “MaterMan”.
Take a look at the picture of tomatoes my wife picked JUST TODAY! And here is one of Joyce slicing into one of these tomatoes. LOOK AT THE JUICE dripping from this tomato! Slowly ripened in full sun over the last two months, this tomato quickly developed its sugar and acidity in a full “wet” content. (Remember, a tomato is 85% water!) The flavor is SO WONDERFUL! Literally melts in your mouth! I would share my tomato crop with each and every one of you if I could. (No need, though, your own Topsy Turvy will grow your tomatoes just as prolifically and just as delicious.) ............. [ continued ]
