Default Experiment; container size

I wanted to see how container size affects yield and taste, the variety was BW Cowlick's.

5 different 4" containers produced from about 3/4 of a pound to about a pound per container, the 3/4 gallon container looks like it has about 3-4 lbs. The cuttings are the same age of the brandywines I have shown you pics of already.

The main function of the test was to see if taste was affected when the same type is grown in small containers which has to be watered more often. Plain and simple- NO, not even a little bit, and too boot, the containers medium was surely leeched of all nutrients too, so what I gave them is how they survived. The medium is Pro-mix, I was very surprised how good that first pink tomato tasted, absolutely delicious.

My conclusion is that well grown tomatoes that are from good seed sources, TASTE GOOD. LOL
