It seems alot better sometimes to grow them in containers. You can always move them if they need more sun.
I have 2 right now 1 strawberry, pepper with tomatoe (patio) together in one container hopefully I will be moving that soon.
As for my stawberry one it did not seem to be getting any sun so I moved it. I love container gardening.
Good luck.

I sit in my vegetable garden so that I can see them grow.

Me too, Nicky, and thanks !
I know the yellow pear tomato will get huge, but it's in a 24 inch pot a tree can grow in. Should be OK.
Glad to meet someone else who loves container gardens !

Ciao Deborah,
Well I'm glad it's big enough for a tree because Yellow Pear Tomatoes can become monsters that will try to take over the planet. Even in a short growing area like Toronto, they can reach 12 feet tall.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

My yellow pear tomatoes never got that BIG! wow!!
I do have a short growing season though.
My cousin grows his veggies in containers. I have used containers too. I grew, in a 26" pot, outside my store, on asphalt, peas, lettuce, and a tomato. My landlord laughed at me. She was sure I wouldn't get any yields. She stopped laughing by the time I was handing her the third big bag of lettuce for her familys salad. Just shook her head and said I can't believe you got so much out of there.![[shocked]](im/graemlins/shock.gif)

Awesome, Wrennie !
I'm going to let the yellow pear tomato go as high as the top of the stake I have in the pot and then just keep nipping off the top.
If the top keeps growing that is, maybe a tomato stops growing the main stem after being nipped off the first time.
Guess I'm gonna find out......

The bell pepper I got yesterday, I've heard that we shouldn't buy a plant that already has fruit in the nursery pot.
But I couldn't resist and bought a pepper plant that has several small peppers already on it.
Kind of makes up for last year when I didn't get any peppers.![[grin]](im/graemlins/grinnnn.gif)

Container friuts and veggies are great! Just started doing this myself. I use Superthrive on them often which really works well. you only need about a drop or two per gallon so the 4 oz bottle lasts a long time.
