I bought tomato plants this year (Big Boy) and with all the rain we had every
weekend never put them into the ground. I just planted them in a large pot
instead for the time being.

Will tomato plants grow like this (I like in NJ) or do they need to go
into the
ground to establish their full growth? Every year I want to get "patio"
tomatoes but by the time I get around to it they are gone or I can't
find them.
Can I make the regular tomato plants "patio" tomatoes instead?

I don't know. A good pot variety is "Tumbler." It's meant to be grown in a
hanging
basket. My extension agent told me that he tried it last year and loved
it, so I have
one on the kitchen windowsill that's setting 'maters like crazy. (And
we're smokers!)

Half the fun of gardening is trying new things. So let us know how your
Big Boy's do
in pots : )
