 This is not a picture of my Topsy Turvey Tomato Planter....but I have one that is similar.

We have it hanging on the front porch.... A little brown bird has decided to make her nest in it...she has laided 3 little eggs.

I told my hubby just to let the plant die..so she won't be disturbed.  He taps on it and she hops out....goes to a near by tree and let's her displeasure known.  He waters it on one side as not to water her eggs...then when he's done she comes back.

I think she might be the same bird that build her nest in one of my planters on the front porch last year.

It's funny I have several bird houses in my yard....guess she wanted more room!

That's so sweet!

Does that planter actually work?

I'm not sure....I've just gotten about 4 blooms on it. They have another one that has more holes..sides and bottoms..It's just blooming now also. I got it on the front porch..I thing it gets too hot there...but Momma Birds seems to approve ☺

We've got a little Carolina Wren with a nest by the deck porch. That's probably what you've got -- loud little birds, too! Here's a link with pictures and sound clips: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/carolina_wren/id

Happy 4th of July! Stay safe out there, and I hope your tomatoes don't die!

The Wrens on our porch all left the nest this past week.

That's her...thanks for the link!!

My partner made the mistake of hanging her motorcycle helmet by the strap* from the handlebar of her Harley winter before last. We didn’t ride for a while when it was cold, and when it warmed up, there was a Robin’s nest, with three small, blue eggs, inside the helmet.

She carefully moved it a few feet and used another helmet until the chicks hatched and left the nest....

* Never do that. If you’ve left it out somewhere and it should happen to rain, your helmet will fill up with water ....

We got a topsy turvey this year, but it dried out every day, so the wife unpotted them and put them in the ground. Now they're doing great. Already showing fruit.

We are watering it every day....

We planted three tomato plants in the ground, and three upside-down in 5-gallon buckets hanging from the porch. All the ground-planted ones are fine with tons of tomatoes, but over half of them have blossom-end rot. The ones in the buckets are all blooming and have tomatoes -- one has 9 today, with two turning red. No problems with them at all so far!
