Tomato plants - Hanging Basket

It's been a couple of years now since we last grew tomatoes at home, this time Flyingpops came up with a radical idea to prevent sharing at least half the crop with slugs and snails, putting the plants in hanging baskets -

- and it's been incredibly successful, taking advice from a gardener at Horley car boot sale (where we bought the plants), we planted them in the contents of a grow bag (just tore it open and popped it on top of a plastic lining), then let them grow four good sets of side branches and then simply pinched out the growing top -

- and we already have some fruit! However, I must say, the plant that we put into a regular pot seems to be much more healthy than the hanging basket ones, but I think the trade off is a good one considering the total immunity from slimy pests... ;)

More pics later when we have some juicy red coloured things to show off... ;)
