Gran, ...Hey all! Oh, yes, I am VERY human, LOL! <br /><br />Gran, at least it was only a few that I lost, I still have plenty for our little family that is minus the biggest tomato consumer in the house!<br /><br />Thomas, mostly I tried containers this year because I needed to be able to tuck them in places here and there, no room in my beds since they take up way too much space. If I was to stick them in the ground here and there, they would get trampled or peed on by dogs (my tenants have 2 male dogs!). A big reason for others to do it would be if you have disease in the soil, since it can take a decade to get rid of it. I can only fit 3-4 heirlooms in a big raised bed since they get 8 ft high and 5-6 ft wide and that's just taking up too much of my bed space. I think determinate tomatoes would do fine in a bottomless pot, just not these massive heirlooms. I do still have 5 heirlooms in bottomless pots that are doing great, I have been keeping them pruned.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-87844163959392763122010-07-01T06:49:23.062-04:002010-07-01T06:49:23.062-04:00Aha haa I don't take pics of my weeds.

Maybe I'll mulch the bed with straw to reflect more of the sun's heat. <br /><br />I think I might asked you this before but what's the benefit to growing tomatoes in pots in the garden? I've seen Gran and others do the same thing. Why not just put them straight into the ground?Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-9875825100951493742010-06-30T23:32:44.847-04:002010-06-30T23:32:44.847-04:00I'm so sorry you lost your heirlooms.

But don'tcha think they would have done better in the containers if you hadn't had the HORRID heat?<br /><br />So glad you're getting a break with cooler (I guess that's relative!) weather for a few days. I'll bet you're feeling a real surge of energy and "The Runaway Train" will be going lickety-split for the next couple of days!
