Well, I finally am going to try growing a tomato plant in a container on our deck.

We live in a condo, so we don't have a yard.

I also have a topsy turvy planter with a cherry tomato plant in it.

I have 11 Tomato plants planted in my small garden. I'm sure that I will be begging my friends to come over and take tomatoes home!!!!

Fun! You might want to cover the one in a pot. Our tomatoes got eaten by birds until we did that! :)

We have 3 topsy turvy, this is the first time we have tried them. They are growing like crazy. We have grape tomatoes in one and must have 50 little tomatoes on it. Our Better Boy we did not think was going to produce although was growing great guns. This weekend we notice at least six little tomatoes. Now we have planted summer squash in one. They are doing so much better than any container ones we have grown. We are irrigating them with small watering tubes so we don't have to worry about watering them.
