The pot looks like about 5 wide by 10 inches. A small pot. Small pots
are harder to establish homeostasis which means they dry out or drown
easier.


I've got a friend that is trying to grow some tomatoes (some are better
bush) in 10" ~ 1 gallon on a sunny patio. I though this was way small
from what I know about the root of a tomato. Is this doable if they are
kept watered?

I'm not holding out much hope here, but her last garden spot was
under a tree!

Might be good for a protected house plant but Iีd place a 3X4
(4X8) raised bed on that nearest lawn sort of like a large window box.
Guess you might manage some cherry tomatoes if you like challenges.


Think of it as a bonsai tomato, then when it gets root bound, bound feet
will be the metaphor. Will be hard for it to stand too. Should get it
some support.
