Nothing is better than a home-grown tomato. There are so many varieties from which to choose, you'll want to plant more than one if you have the space. Tomatoes do grow well in large containers. Plant your seedlings when daytime temperatures are consistently well above 55°F. Choose a location where the plants will receive at least 6 hours of sun each day. To learn more, see the articles on tomato planting tips, tomato types and varieties and tomato pruning.
