Hello everyone welcome back to the show. Kevin Espiritu here from Epic Gardening. Let's talk about some tomatoes that do well in pots. A lot of us are either starting to garden for the first time

this year or perhaps we have moved to an apartment, anything like this that

forces you to grow in containers, but you still want to grow the things that you may have grown

outdoors in your raised bed or you still may want to grow a nice bushy plant that produces a lot of fruit

And so that's what we're talking about. We're talking about tomatoes that do well in containers.

Your first consideration for this has to be size.

You may want to stay away from some of those indeterminate

airloom tomatoes because number one they are indeterminate. Their size is not

determined. It will keep growing and growing and growing.

Many of these indeterminates and heirlooms are also more prone to disease.

They do not have disease resistance bred into them like many other varieties do, perhaps a hybrid tomato for example.

Now let's talk about some tomatoes that can do well in containers.

The first one and the one I always recommend just look for the word

patio. So patio it's an F1 hybrid, it's determinate and it will give you a fruit within 70 days and

that fruit's going to be roughly the size of a tennis ball.

Next you have Bush Early Girl.

This is another hybrid.

It is a favorite.

You see it in nurseries all around the country really.

It's quite disease resistance and it will create

some small fruits within around 50 to 55 days or so.

The next one, Better Bush.
