Some of our bell peppers are doing well and turning orange. A few of the larger green ones have had some blossom end rot, so we've removed the affected ones.
The higher than normal summer heat has affected the production of tomatoes and peppers we have, with fewer blooms showing up. We also haven't used pesticides, so the tomato hormworms reappear after awhile, until we can find and remove them from the plants.
Overall, the Topsy Turvy has still been a neat project, but I think we need to harvest a lot more over the next couple of months, before we recoup the initial costs put into it.

I am glad you are doing that. I just put my pepper planter in the garage. Maybe I will try it next year! Not the worst $10 I have ever spent.
