Upside Down Tomato Plant Has Gone Belly Up!

Well, the upside down tomato plant apparently had a single but lethal flaw. Where the base of the plant is sitting against the soil, it seems to have gotten soft and  possibly some rot due to always being damp (this is afterall where the water comes out too!)
Anyway, in the recent winds, the combination of the soft stem, coupled with the continual swaying back and forth at that same pivot point led to the stem eventually being severed. The result was a very sad and limp looking plant that was/is being held by little more than a thread.

Not to be discouraged, the next plan of action here is to give the other 2 plants growing in tubs the right way up a few more weeks to develop and turn them upside down

But for now, the UDTP has gone belly up!
