Ive gone for "Big daddy f1" as my main crop again this year as they are really nice flavour and have plenty of fruits, Two plants in a 40ltr pot of organic stuff and will be fed a seaweed/em1 feed as and when needed.

Trying "Black Russain" for the first time.
Image

Choc cherry is a fav of my youngest daughter.
Image

Trying a hanging one made out of a 5ltr water bottle
Image

All look brilliant. We tried the upside down thingy..did it outside using an old bucket, hung from a tree. It certainly works, we did cherry toms in ours. Fun to try different ways. Happy growing

I always Bury ours as deep as possible it helps with watering too nice deep roots don't dry out either that's without all the new roots that will grow off the stems it's a win win
