Crazy About Green Tomatoes. We've been growing our tomatoes upside-down for the past three years and really have fun growing them this way! We also grow tomatoes in the ground, and, by comparison, the ones in the upside-down buckets seem to have a little better yield than the same varieties grown in the ground.razy About Green Tomatoes.

Water is absorbed at the roots by osmosis, and any dissolved mineral nutrients travel with it through the xylem. The rate of transpiration is directly related to the evaporation of water molecules from plant surface, especially from the surface openings, or stoma, on leaves.
â¢ Roots absorb water and it is translocated by xylem of the stem and distributed to leaves and all other aerial parts of the plant. â¢ The leaves consist of mesophyll cells. â¢ This water is supplied to the mesophyll cells of the leaves through xylem bundles which form the network of veins of the leaves.
