Nobody replied. And I gave away the bucket with an early girl to my neighbor.

So I feel ok about that.

That weren't even gonna plant anythang this year and after giving them the early girl they went nuts at kmart and bought a bunch of plants and planted them in a nice bed.

Hooray!

By the way the Sun Sugar is ROCKING in the KGRO soil. It's such a beautiful plant!

Maybe too late, but Indian Stripe does well in 5 gallon. Should be fairly common plant. It's quite compact even if it's not classified as 'bush'.

you don't need a bush tomato plant for a five gallon bucket. grape tomatos and other varieties all grow well. I change the top layers of soil every year and we get tons of tomatoes from our buckets
