    With a Topsy Turvy planter, chances are the water is not getting deep enough into the container. Make sure that you allow the water to move all the way through the container. If the container dries out completely, it can take some time for the soil to re-hydrate.

    Yellow leaves can be caused by several things. This article covers what they could be:

    Likely with the topsy turvey planter, it was a lack of water. Containers dry out fast and need to be watered 1-2 times a day to keep them watered enough.

    If you only got one rush of fruit, this is a determinate plant, meaning it produces fruit all at once and then stops. For season long production, look for an indeterminate plant. They keep producing fruit until frost kills them.

    Bird netting is a great idea if birds were a problem.
