I can’t even lift the lawnmower it’s far too big & heavy (a petrol one)…..i would probably end up killing myself with an electric one – I’m a clutz! My dads friend is doing the toms for us and will deliver them when they are ready to be planted….to be perfectly honest with you, I can’t see why they wouldn’t work. They may need a bit of bamboo stick to climb up (with a little string tie for stability) but otherwise I would say go for it. My dad built fence hung planters for the tomato plants so il be doing pretty much the same as yourself, I think strawbs would do better in a hanging basket (depending on type) but you also have the risk of our feathered friends. Which is why I’m trying the Snow White variant of strawbs 🙂
