They are better off in the ground. They can have a larger root system in the ground. Also, it's easier to overwater or underwater them in a pot.
Put them in tomato cages for support, they are better than rods or stakes. Water them with Miracle Grow about once a week. If you know anybody that has rabbits. Get some rabbit manure and till it into the ground before planting them. It really helps them grow. Tomatos like a lot of sun and a lot of water, so pick a sunny spot. Whenever you see the ground looking dry or the plant starting to wilt, water the tomato plants. They should have a nice dark green color if they are doing well. If the bottom leaves start turning yellow then you are probably watering too much. If the top leaves turning yellow, you are probably not watering enough.
If Japanese beetles start eating on them, cover them with Seven Dust.

probably a pollination difficulty or it will be too a lot nitrogen in the soil. it's going to make a good number of greenery on the rate of putting fruit. there's a compound observed as Blossom Set that backyard centers promote that makes the first blooms produce fruit. through the way, fried eco-friendly tomatoes are with a view to save the tomatoes from wintry climate. Did the flora get a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight in step with day? If no longer that would connect the priority.

they will do better in the ground.tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week.but a little more is better.a tomatoe cage would be better than wire rods.better boys grow tomatoes up to 1lb.in size. tomatoes love egg shells!it gives them calcium and stuff!i feed mine with miracle grow once a week!that way i dont have worry about how much fertilizer or anything to use!miracle grow is safe and wont burn tomato plants! as for pesticides,youll have to wait and see if you need them or not!if you do end up needing them use sevin dust,they sell it at walmart!good luck!hope they grow with abundance!
