Tomato Seeds for Pots and Kitchen Gardens
Tomatoes can be grown in garden beds, raised beds, pots and grow bags with good sunlight and drainage.
For container growing, use one plant in a pot or grow bag approximately 14 to 20 inches wide and at least 14 to 18 inches deep. Provide a stake, cage or trellis as the plant develops, including for many cherry tomato varieties.
Larger tomatoes generally need more root space and stronger support than small-fruited types.
