Really nice lighting and those look so gorgeous I'm anxious to see them ripe. I had to give up growing them in our yard. The deer kept eating the plants!

Hello Mike,
my neighbour spotted 3 BIG deer across the road in the church lot but my house is fenced and these tomatoes are hanging upside down from my deck roof...they might be safe...

What are you guys haning your yopsy turvey thing from. I have mine 6 feet off the ground and the tomatoes are touching the bround. That thing is awesome, but hard to hang. And it took a beating in the hail and wind storms we had last week I lost a few branches, but is has come back - thought it was dead...

Any BTW, love the photos!
