🍅Don't start shopping for tomato plants to grow in a container until you watch this video! Foodie Gardener, Shirley Bovshow shares the information for the BEST TOMATOES to grow in containers! Not all tomato varieties are suitable as potted tomatoes!

Shirley suggests that you consider some compact, smaller growing tomato plants such as cherry tomatoes or other "determinate" type tomatoes.
All tomatoes are classified as either "Determinate" or "Indeterminate" tomatoes and they grow very differently.

Determinate tomatoes are usually more compact plants, (perfect as container-grown tomatoes) and put out the fruit (tomatoes) within a short window of time.

After the 2 or 3-week period, determinate tomatoes are done for the season. Many paste tomatoes are determinate, making canning and preserving them a timely project. Determinate tomato plants also tend to grow in bush form rather than tall and vining.

Indeterminate tomatoes are the opposite of determinate tomatoes and have an "indefinite" growing period! Indeterminate tomato plants can continue producing tomatoes until the first frost. In mild climates, this can be all the way until December!
