Growing Upside down peppers

simply awesome as usual Potawie...I am definitely going to have to try and grow the 5 color next year
The upside down planters just aren't working for me this year. The weather here has been terrible all summer, with cool nights and rain just about every day.
As I mentioned In IGGy's thread, my macrame hanger snapped and broke most of my 5 color plant. It looks pathetic now
And here's my upside downaga. There's some pods but it's really not doing well either
And a fairy tale eggplant after I removed all the brown yucky leaves

I still think your 5 color is very pretty Potawie. You're just such a perfectionist.
I have 3 going I got them out late but 2 of them are setting fruit and the other one is not doing so good it a Habanero the other ones are

Easy. When the little bastards hang upside down at the plant to try and get the fruit, it is much easier to whack them with the pellet gun.
I've never found upside down setups to come close to comparing in yield with my in ground Maters. That, and the wind seems to really rip them up here once the Monsoon hits and they start swinging around in it.
