You can get simple and easy tomatoes by growing them in containers to get those delicious homegrown tasting tomatoes that only green thumb gardeners grow. If you don’t have a lot of space or live in an apartment then tomato growing is great! There are just a few steps you absolutely must know or else you will get those tiny, rotten tomatoes.
1. Tomatoes need sunlight
Tomatoes need at least 6 hours of sunlight. You can put your new tomatoes containers on a patio or in a window sill. Window sills are especially great because they provide a lot of direct sunlight, where the suns shines directly on the plant. Make sure to move the pot around so that it gets the full six hours of sun when growing tomatoes containers.
2. Pick the right plant
You don’t want to get a tomato plant that grows six feet tall, in your kitchen at that! No better to choose a determinate tomato variety. Determinate tomatoes are varieties that only grow a foot or two max. Which is great for you, because one things they go is ripen fast. Just think in as little as two weeks you can have fresh tomatoes in your salad. The smaller varieties ripen quick and with the plant being small you won’t be left with tons of tomatoes that you can’t use.
