Yes
Absolutel, in fact they have patio tomato plants just for pots, but you can grow any kind in a pot!
Hi Irene. You sure can. Just make sure you have a big and deep pot. It will also have to be watered more often than if it was in the ground.I have even seen people use 5 gallon buckets. If you do make sure to drill a few drain holes in the bottom. You can even purchase a patio tomato plant. It is more like a cherry tomato.
Hi Irene,
As others have said, yes you can. Click below to read about the method. Wishing you the best.

Yes. But your pot has to be very big--a 5 gallon bucket works well. You can put a tomato cage in the bucket or pot as the plant grows. One thing to watch out for is once the plant is huge and has fruit on it--the pot/bucket can topple over in a strong wind--or storm. I place my large tomato plants in pots/buckets in a corner of my deck and actually tie the tomato cage to the deck railings so they don't topple over. I prefer planting cherry tomatoes in a large pot or bucket and keep those on my deck rather than a full size tomato plant. I still have to place a tomato cage around the plant--with the legs cut off shorter--but they have less of a tendency to topple over in a storm with strong winds.
Yes, first put a wire cage in the pot so the plant can walk the cage up as it grow.
