Upside-Down Tomatoes: Companion Plants for Shared Pots

Tomatoes planted in the drainage hole of a terra cotta pot, growing downward, with herbs/flowers on top? Great companions: nasturtium, parsley, cucumber, basil, chive, garlic, lettuce, mint, peppers, marigold. Cucumbers can trail over the pot edge, mingling with tomato vines.

All listed plants share similar light/water needs and don't compete aggressively. Basil and marigold may deter pests. Mint—contain it or it'll take over.

Ensure pot is large enough (15+ gal), use quality potting mix + compost, water consistently (top and bottom), fertilize organically.
