Default Just 1 Galahad Tomato

Is it ok to grow just one plant? Some plants don't seem to grow well
unless there are two of them. Also, will this grow well in a 15-gallon
bucket (~2.25 sq. ft, 18" deep)? Not a lot of room left in the garden,
so looking to do a Galahad tomato in a 15-gallon container.


might be a bit small of a container for a larger variety.
so you'll need to be sure to keep it properly watered.

tomatoes are self-fertile, if they don't seem to be setting
many fruits you can ding the flowers with your finger or shake
the plant once in a while. also, if it gets too hot out you
can also drench the plant to cool it off (which may increase
disease pressure but if it is a choice between a crop and no
crop i'll take the disease too as often by the time the plant
is seriously affected the crop is mostly done anyways).
