The tendency of gardeners and gardenbloggers drawn to capturing every moment of their plants' growth on camera or the response of a plant drawn to the stimulus of light? I'd always wondered about those hanging tomatoes and if they'd turn themselves up and grow towards the sun. My neighbor Katie's rooftop fence DIY planter has answered the question for me.

I've never seen a good upside down grower.
Katie's is my first sighting of an upside down grower outside of a garden catelog. My dad bought my niece one, but I don't think she used it.
I've always wondered about this. I have yet to try this method.
Well meems, I totally prefer growing right in the ground myself, but that is definitely a luxury that I am lucky to have here in the city. Sometimes I feel like my garden is bigger than my studio. So, I've never tried the upside down tomatoes in a 5 gallon bucket on the roof and I can tell you they are not nearly as prolific as they would be in a more hospitable environment, but Katie is getting some tomatoes and she's happy about that. It's her first attempt at growing vegetables, so it's doubly sweet for her. Hope your strawberries are treating you right.
