Hi all! I’m new to container gardening and still figuring things out through lots of trial and error. For those of you who have had success growing tomatoes, which varieties do you prefer? Any advice for pruning, fertilizing, etc?
I’m currently growing Brandywine Red, Better Boy, Husky Cherry, and Yellow Cherry. I also have a Rosella sprout in the aerogarden that will hopefully be ready for transplant in the next week or so. They’re all doing well health-wise, but I’m wondering if there’s anything I could be doing better to increase yield.
Thanks for any advice you can offer! 🍅

Guess 'm gonna sit this one out then xD
But actually I’m growing some cherry tomatoes right now that seem to be doing well. Better than all my other attempts at least. Check my post history in this community if you want to see the variety of them, I have a picture of the seed pack somewhere. Good luck and I hope you get lots of tomatoes! :)
Thank you! I really like your setup and am happy that you’re seeing results. I hope you’ll post progress pictures - it’s great to see other gardens!
I have some Fourth-of-July tomatoes in containers right now. I buy them as large starts from the nursery due to my short growing season (I live in a northern semi desert). I water basically every day and absolutely tomato plants need fertilizer! I am trying to feed them once a week or every other week. If not, they will cannibalize their lower leaves to push out new growth up high. You will see leaf yellowing at the bottom if that is happening.
Oh that’s good to know, thank you for sharing! I’m late to the fertilizer game, but picked up a bag of Tomato Tone last weekend. I’ve never heard of Fourth-of-July, but am going to look into them now as an option for next year.
