Cherokee Purple in a Container
I was just curious if anyone else here had grown Cherokee Purple in a container before and what luck you may have had with it.
This is my first attempt at container growing, due to diseased soil conditions. I have one CP growing in a very large pot. So far it's a gorgeous plant, and it already has 13 tomatoes set, possibly more in hiding as the foliage is extremely lush and dense. I've never seen a healthier looking plant. A couple of the tomatoes are around baseball size now too. I know that blossom end rot can be a problem with container-grown plants, and I'm crossing my fingers that it won't be a problem. If this experiment is a success, next year I will have a whole row of containers across my deck. It's a 25 foot long deck, so there's lots of space. So, what are my chances?
