Container growing tomatoes for small gardens
If your garden is small i recommend that container growing is the best option because you can put them in good locations and maintain them easliy. Container growing tomatoes are best grown on the ground but with special care and attention and doing things a bit more carefully you will have good success.
You must choose suitable varieties for containers. Some varieties have such large fruits that this makes them unsuitable for growing in pots and containers. The reason for this is that tomatoes are very hungry and needy plants when it comes to watering and feeding. The large varieties need a larger root system to sustain the plants long enough and well enough to give you the large tomatoes you would want.
Good types that grow in pots include the small cherry types and the medium ones.Do not grown the very large italian steak tomatoes.
The second thing you must do is to use only your largest containers and pots for tomatoes. Your plants need regular watering and feeding and to get really good plants the roots need plenty of space. If they are pot bound you will reduce the size of your tomatoes.
The third thing to do with them is to feed them weekly once the first flower set appears. I do this every Sunday morning without fail until the last fruits are present. Then you just continue with water. I use specially prepared feed but you can use most organic feeds such as fish blood and bone. You can use the same types of feed on other vegetables.
The last thing to do is always have a regular and daily watering schedule. Even if it rains I still water them because the pots dry out so quickly and the leaves of the plants deflect the water from the container. The ones in the ground will grow much more easily. Container growing tomatoes for small gardens work very well as long as you follow these simple tips.
