Grow bag indeterminate tomatoes everywhere!

Jetstar · August 7, 2018

Just a quick update on my grow bag indeterminate tomatoes, there really getting big and I've already enjoyed 5 of them these are even bigger. I can see I'll be sharing these with my next door neighbor, I included pics of my Shish!to peppers I've never gown this variety before I can't believe how many peppers each plant produces!

Thanks Salsacharley indeterminate tomatoes in grow bags need to be monitored daily IMO, but there worth it.

They look great and totally healthy! Where are you located?

Consider a drip system with individual drippers on each bag. Works great for me... I set the timer for a few minutes twice a day, and get out to prune and spray once a week.

Elight, I live in Green Bay, Wi. as far as using a drip system I really want to be in the garden daily or every other day... Why well last week Sat.for the 1st time ever my garden was attacked by Japanese beetles they were trying to make quick work of my pole beans, but my quick action squashed their plans and my pole beans escaped with minimal leaf damage because I spotted them during my morning visit to the garden. I'm retired and the few minutes a day I spend in the garden is something I enjoy, if I was still working I'd feel otherwise.

I see you are also using those 3 ring supports as I do which works well for me.

Most are in grow bags, some in containers( 10 to 15 gal ones.When they get to the top of the supports I just let them flop over and hang down.

carolyn137, I like the 3 ring cages these are about 8in. taller than regular tomato cages, there made of heavier gauge wire I got them at ALDI at a much lower price than other stores offer them. I've always grown my indeterminate Tomato plants in the standard 7gal Walmart bags, the key to that IMO is making sure you give them the right fertilizer mix every every 2 weeks after the 1st month of growth and never ever let them dry out... They need water!
