Question by itsme: Does anyone know of a way to plant tomato plants besides in the ground?
I want to plant tomato plants this year but not in the ground because it is difficult for me to bend over and tend them,however I do have a large patio and can anyone give me some good ideas on how to plant them in something I can place on my patio?

I’m fairly sure there’s a gardening bag that can be hung from a pole, which in turn is screwed to the deck. They’d probably only hold one plant each, but it’d keep you from having to stoop to pick the tomatoes.
Add your own answer in the comments!
I did it that way to show others dude…
You just kinda sorta wanna take off the suckers, really? How about simply saying “pinching off the suckers”, and do it way before they get as big as the suckers on your plants.
LOL!! Trust me, I’m up late checking my plants as well to check and see whats eating at them, what they look like at night, etc etc:) I am such a nerd:)
Well, I’ve mostly got Boxcar Willie Tomatoes and Tomatillo Plants. Other plants I’m experimenting with in containers are: Jalapenos, Hungarian yellow Peppers, Okra, String Beans, Butter Crunch Lettuce, Various types of mint, Herbs (chives, rosemary, cilantro, oregano, and basil), musketmelon, Loquat seedlings, mango seedlings, lemon seedlings, and my list keeps on growing because I’m a garden crackhead. I swear, I’m poking around in my plants well past midnight on the weekends. LOL
Btw, what do you plan on planting?
Brandywyne! I don’t think it’s heirloom though. I got heirloom from a friend on here that I will be planting next year:)
LOL on the gas! My friend is out of control!
What kind of tomato plant is that? It has interesting looking leaves. Nice fart highlight btw. I’m pretty gassy myself and I’m sure there will be a few in my videos once i start posting them.
@jedesignz I have a crazy friend:) LoL!!
@therealvirginiawind Thanks:) I’ve pruned my plants to much in the past but I do it now very little.
LOL.. Nice video, glad you didn’t take certain parts out. 😀
Good video! I’ve not pruned my tomatoes in the past, but this year I’m doing it.
I’ve heard they grow well in baskets and have seen a device where you can hang them upside down and the tomato’s hang down for even easier harvesting. If you put them in a basket or hanging basket, I’d try to put them in as large of a container as you can find so they down become pot bound, where the roots have no room to grow.
Good luck.
Yes get a bale of straw and plant them in that. Must be kept moist is all. You can also get a wooden barrel and do it that way if you can have some one haul the dirt for you.Some tomato plants get big and heavy for a planter and if the planter isn t that big and limits the roots it will some what stunt the tomato plants growth.. GL
Hyrdoponics (growing in water) is an alternative, and you can grow them year round:)

get a bag of soil from your store,
toss it on something like a small table, laying flat
cut an opening in it on top, and a few holes through the side to drain
plant
enjoy (a friend of mine has done this for years, as he can’t garden any other way. for a table he uses an old bbq pit he no long uses.
