I am in a rent house so I want to grow my tomatoes in pots. I have
tried growing individual tomato plants in 6 gal. pots with Miracle
Gro, but had poor results. Just a few puny fruit produced.



Cherry tomatoes do quite well in pots and there are many available
that are specific to such growing. Look for ones with "patio" in the
name.

You can grow full size tomatoes in larger tubs, though, and I do it
every year. Look for containers that are at least 20 inches.
