Next year I'm thinking a early cherry in a hanging basket would be a good addition. Unless you get a miniature tomato (Yellow Canary is an indeterminate miniature), I think you would need an absolutely huge hanging basket and very strong support. Beyond what's practical, really. Most cherry tomato plants are immense: we've got two in our garden now that are about six feet high and about six feet in diameter. Small tomatoes does not equal small plant. I think two cages in that corner and just let them grow wild would be easier. I've always caged tomatoes because I think it's easier. But once we get the hoophouse, I'll be more interested in conserving space - so at least the tomatoes grown in the hoophouse will be pruned and trellised in some manner.
