tomato car

This is a toddler bed that the neighbor threw out....I put compost stuff in it and covered with black plastic. 2 months later I planted tomatoes in it, and they did great!

This year, we have painted it red, because of the new idea that tomatoes like that color and grow better! So imagine the car as red, and will post pics when they grow this year.

Since painting, it now has an updated photo, as well as this years tomatoes. The variety is Boxcar Willie. Kind of appropriate....

Now that the garden is taking off, I can say that just about the only diff between the car and the garden is the foliage. The color is a deeper green and it is much denser. Not more toms that I can see.....

lol, way to resurrect an old thread.

Right now it has blackberrys in it, so I guess now it is a berry good car.....
