Is it cool to plant vegi plants like peppers and tomatoes in pots on my
deck? Or will I end up having to transplant them to the yard? Thanks!!


Just a matter of choosing a sufficient sized pot. One of my books
suggest for an indeterminate/vining tomato plant with large tomatoes
you will need a 5 gallon pot minimum. With rich soil Sq.Foot gardening
suggest a foot diameter is enough room for tomatoes or peppers.

Today's Boston Globe has an article on growing vegetables in containers:
