I planted 6 tomato plants in a hanging basket. (basket was made for just that) They are growing quite fast.?

............how long from planting them, (started off about 6inches) how long before I start seeing an actual tomato. And do you have any tips that will help wth me keeping them growing as good as they are now? Thanks. :)

How long before you see a tomato will depend on the variety.


Keep them fed and make sure that air can move around the plant freely, this will prevent end rot, damping off, and fungal infection.
Reply:Sun, water and fertilize. I always find that when we get quite a bit of rain the tomatoes seem to have a growth spurt. I also pinch the suckers. You will see tiny leaves popping out in the joint between stem and branch.





An old gardener told me once want lots of tomatoes don't pinch, want big tomatoes you must pinch.
Reply:here's a hint.... one regular tomato plant will put out seven feet of roots....you've got six in one pot....





don't expect miracles..... you won't be able to get them each enuff water, fertilizer or room....





from first bloom to first tomato can be two months.....
Reply:agree with Mean. six plants in the same pot will deplete the nutrients, stunt plant growth because of root compaction, resulting in small plants and fruit.
