one at 1 lb 4.7 oz today in a 4 gallon pot. KarenO |

Bear, I see that your toms have those yellow shoulders too. Why is that?

Sakharnyi Pudovichok has compact indeterminate plants and great taste, and has done well outside in containers for me. The fruits have been medium, but Tatiana says they can be up to a pound: http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Sakharnyi_Pudovichok My dtm is 75 days. Strangely, it didn't like the heat in my greenhouse, and produced mini-versions there.

Last fall I grew some great big beef tomatoes in 7 gallon containers. When it got cold at night I’d get my dolly and move them into the garage till it warmed up. I picked my last tomatoes in mid January.
