Opinions on which varieties I should put in containers
I hope to get some opinions on which varieties will do better in a container or in a raised bed. Somehow, I have more tomato seedlings than I have room for and I plan to use 11 containers of varying sizes. I have six 15 gallon and five 7 gallon containers.
Here are my plans: Stump of the World - 15 gal Neves Azorean Red - 15 gal Orlov Yellow - 15 gal Green Doctor's - 7 gal Rideau Sweet Cherry - 7 gal Gold Rush Currant - 7 gal Brad's Black Heart - 7 gal Red Brandywine Heart - 7 gal So would any of the following perform better in a 15 gal containers than in a raised bed? Grub's Mystery Green Indian Stripe 1884 Purple Gary O' Sena Cherokee Chocolate Dora Terhune Brandywine Sudduth Chapman Magnum Beefsteak Red Brandywine Those that I don't put in the containers will go into my raised bed and I plan to try the weave style trellis and trim back to two or three leaders per plant. The outside rows are already planted and will be caged. I want the inside row (still not planted) to not be so overgrown so I plan to prune pretty well to keep the center of the bed manageable - so I can get in to find ripe fruit. Thanks, Joe |
