Wait wait wait a minute, so you will grow all of those dwarf, (they are dwarf's right?) tomato plants to maturity in what appear to be 3 gallon nursery pots, on your concrete driveway? And I assume all of the tiny containers are seedlings getting shipped off?

So how does growing the dwarf plants in pots compare to "in the garden " grown ones?

They are 5 gallon bags, and since the goal is a few ripe, representative fruit to save seeds from, I am not concerned with maximizing yield (though I suspect that they will do fine on that count as well). Yes the tiny ones are the leftovers from my seedling sales. As far as comparison with soil grown, I am sure they don't yield as well, but with a 15 year old Fusarium infected garden that doesn't get as much sun as I like, growing them in the bags in the driveway gives me better chance of success!

I thought it was because of TSWV?
