I just picked up 4 Black Cherry Tomato plants from a local farmer yesterday...... but Black Cherry is awesome for snacking and they produce boatloads.
Where do you folks buy your seeds for these breed of tomatoes? Do you keep it local from a farmer, or buy online?
You can pick up an 18 gal round tote for cheap.
. . . . Also if you're going to grow in containers you need to use potting mix. It doesn't have any soil in it. Soil is too heavy and the plants will suffer...you need to use something that is light and airy.
I'm going to give my backyard a try. But I'm curious about your comment concerning soil. I hope this isn't too naive of me -- I readily admit to having no gardening experience -- but if tomato plants can grow well in soil in one's backyard, why would the same soil be "too heavy" to use when planting tomatoes in pots? Does the soil somehow become compacted over time in a pot?
