2. Tomatoes. I planted about 30 beefsteaks in containers. The pot sizes
ranged from 2 gallon to 15 gallon. I am worried that the 2 gallon containers
arent big enough and that I overstuffed the larger containers (two in a 10
gallon).

My mother-in-law planted some tom's (don't remember the varitiy, I
think early girls or similar) 4 to a pot in about a 5 gallon pot.
they got to about 3 feet tall and stopped growing. the tom's are
still green, but about 3 inches accross. she put four stakes in the
pot, and ran string around them as a kinda trellice, and they are
doing great. not as large as a ground-planted, but for just her and
her husband, it works fine.

She also did this with bell peppers. they are considerably smaller
than ground-planted, but she will still get a half-dozen peppers off
one plant. she used two gallon containers for them, and only one
plant each.

good luck! follow the (unofficial) rules of this forum: LET US KNOW
