Are 5 Gallon Grow Bags Big Enough or Sq FT garden?

angelique · January 27, 2007

Hi All,

I have seeds from a few smaller varieties. I would like advice on where to plant these varieties:

Epoch
Puck
New Big Dwarf
Latah
Sophie's Choice

I have room for these varieties in my sq ft garden and in 5 gallon grow bags. I am leaning towards the sq ft garden because last year many of plants died in the grow bags due to the heat here in Sacto.

In the square foot garden, can I dedicate only one square to any of these varieties? I would definitely be interplanting other types of plants (possibly bush beans basil, nastursiums, etc) between the tomato plants.

Also, any opinions on Epoch and Puck would be great.

Thanks.
