A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum The Tomato Forum Tomatoes in Containers

I would like to grow some tomato plants in containers because the animals eat everything I plant and I am not going to be able to get a fence up at all this year. If I put things up by the house they leave it alone. So, my questions are....what kind of containers would you plant them in? Anybody have additional tips on growing them in containers?

You can grow cherry tomatoes(Tiny Tim)in smaller containers. I've grown them in one gallon flower pots that were tall and skinny.

My dad grows them in containers each year and he just uses big, round storage containers.......he grows all kinds in them. I'll get a pic tomorrow.

Thanks loz! I would like that! That is what I am going to do this year! Hopefully it works for me!
