Another Worthy of a Cage Thread

mobiledynamics · May 6, 2018

Got some new tomatoes I've never planted....so not sure about size. I don't have enough TTC for them....all are in 15G fabric pots, doubled plants per pot (I normally plant singles per 15G).

Here is the list of my new tomatoes. In what order would you say I prioritize which ones get's cages. All will have a stake reagardless

PBTD
Indian Stripe
Prudens
GGWT
Matsu
Solar Flare
Wes
Reif

Of those listed the only one I know for sure makes a huge plant is Wes. I wouldn't double it up with anything. PBTD and Pruden's are tomatoes that I grow every year and would call them average or slightly below average in plant size for indeterminate plants. I grew Reif once a good while back and can't remember how large it got.

b54red - re - doubling up I'm approaching the pot as just a medium - and as long as they get enough water/food......

I started 2018 with a very short list - house has some major project renovations going on, so we're limited on alot of things. Then, as you know it....slippery slope, and I doubled what I intended to plant. Those are are the ones in the ~new to me~ list above. Hence, I'm doubling up. Both for production or thereof just to trial them.
