An idea I had this year to test out some indeterminates in pots...what do you think?

here is my blog post for today - some of the tomatoes in these pics are in the small pots (Green Giant, Coyote) - but they have all set fruit on two or more trusses and most are now top pruned at about 3-4 feet tall.

Awesome looking collection of plants! I am always looking forward to your updates.


After the sun is up for a little while, I'll snap a photo of my "Napa grape" (Burpee variety) indeterminate cherry growing in a .8gal container (yep, .8gal) . And I'll take a height measurement as well (edit - 42").

This little guy keeps going and going and I'm holding out on transplanting, because it's supposed to be a 4-5' variety, and if it isn't 4' already, it's real close. And I am only getting 4-5 hours of morning sun, plus 3 hours under a 10,000 lumen grow light. Water once a day, sometimes twice if it's going to be REAL hot in the morning.

I was under the assumption that if planting a large plant in a small pot, it would limit it's growth, but that hasn't been the outcome so far.



Interesting to say the least.
