We have a celebrity tomato plant in a 10" pot. It's already produced one large, delicious tomato, and it's now got 13 more in the works, about the size of golf balls. The plant is almost 2' tall and growing. But maybe what makes all the difference is the New Mexico sun. Nonetheless, it is possible! -Krystle http://www.TasteTheSeasons.com I beg to differ with a recent post–Tomatoes CAN grow in pots! We have a celebrity tomato plant in a 10″ pot.

I must object. Tomatoes do ***not*** do "fine" in pots, unless your definition of "fine" is growing but not actually producing any tomatoes. This is beyond dispute. The roots, Genie, the ROOTS go four feet down, if not more. I think the world needs to understand you had three (THREE!) cherry tomatoes in a pot that was about eighteen inches deep. My god, are you mad? Three? And they'll be fine, she says. Oh. No. And zucchini, she says, will be fine in a pot. Umm. Only if the "pot" you have in mind is an ABOVE GROUND POOL FILLED WITH COMPOST MY GOD DO YOU REALIZE THE IMPLICATIONS?!?!?!? Also. Apparently, you need two (2) corn to produce anything. They have to fertilize each other. Eugenia. I must object. Tomatoes do ***not*** do “fine” in pots, unless your definition of “fine” is growing but not actually producing any tomatoes.

Farmgirl is right, you WILL need a hoe (and some other digging things) Too bad we aren't closer, Jim could come with a tiller, and help you plant. He's going to plant our sweet corn today. Keep writing, I'm loving this. Genie,
