Hi Biz,
How dwarfing is P22?
I have fully researched upside-down tomatoes. Use a 3-5 gallon pot. Use primarily peat moss potting medium. Cut 2.5-3" hole in bottom of pot. Slip tomato plant in from bottom. Take a paper plate and tear a slit to the center. Slide the slit around the stem of the tomato plant. Fill pot with soil. The paper plate anchors plant and keeps soil in until roots develop. Feed every two weeks.
I am doing four plants this way, this year. I want to expand my yeild without making the garden bigger. I am using determinate plants.
Later,
Tom

Hi troops,
I am organizing scionwood for the upcoming season and have ordered M.26
rootstock, as well.
Margie, thank you for the order - it is safely tucked into our beer, wine
and scionwood fridge. You can tell our priorities, minus the homemade
cheese, which sits in a slightly warmer climate.
Tom, there were sticks of Richelieu in the shipment, so you'll need to tell
me how many you'd like grafted. I have some P.22 left from last year, plus
the M.26 arriving later this month. Nothing larger now, although I may cave
and order some Antonovka rootstock to grow into full size trees for growing
out the results of a breeding project.
Joe, I am sending you scionwood this afternoon, so it should arrive shortly.
Sorry, but the Ashmead's Kernel wood is a bit thin. Hopefully you can do
something with it.
If anyone is interested, I have extra scionwood for medlar.
Back to Tom, with a question about tomatoes. Actually two questions. Are you
going to try, or have you tried, growing tomatoes with two in the same hole?
This jumps back a week or two to a nafex posting. Also, Lee Valley has a
product in their recent mailing that grows tomatoes upside down from an
inverted pot. Seems kind of interesting, but I'd rather rig up something of
my own design than going for the $20 cost. Has anyone tried this, or is it
just a novelty idea to sell a new gardening gizmo?
Cheers to all, Bizmark.
