Srisuda’s Food

Getting close to first harvest

A couple of month ago I once again saw upside down tomatoes for sale at the nursery. When I got home I noticed all those little tomato plants growing wherever I had applied my homemade fertilizer from the worm bin…. So I spontaneously decided give this a try. With a 5 gallon bucket, some potting soil and a drill the plant was hanging there in no time (detailed instructions are all over the net, just google for upside down tomatoes).

Not only was I curious how the plants would grow, but also what kind of tomatoes I would get! Turns out we must have had some smaller vine tomatoes at some point and those are the ones that sprouted from our compost :)

I also setup a bucket with 2 holes and 2 plants per hole, but that get’s a little crowded and since the plants have to share resources amount of grows in the two buckets is about equal.

Plenty of fruit in the pipeline

Here is the plant on day 1:

I just wanted to let everyone know that I added an email subscriptions option in the sidebar on the right on the front page. An email will be send if there is something new on the site.

This should make it convenient to keep track of what’s new here without having to remember checking the site. Let’s hope it works reliably.

Here is the form if you want to subscribe right now:

Everyone who knows me also knows that I love food. Not just to eat, but also to prepare. I often get asked about my food and I wanted to keep some record of dishes I prepared for future reference, so I created this little space to share pictures, recipes and anything about food that comes to mind.

Enjoy!
