How to grow big and tasty tomatoes?

Use Really Big Containers. One of the most important things you can do to ensure tomatosuccess is to use a big enough container, the bigger the better. For one plant, you need a pot orcontainer that is at least a square foot--2 square feet is better. Five-gallon buckets are the perfect size for one plant. https://www.naturallivingideas.com/11-pro-secrets-for-growing-the-worlds-sweetest-tastiest-tomatoes/ varieties https://mahoneysgarden.com/uncle-mikes-top-10-tomatoes-for-container-growing/ more For rich, balanced flavor try Bonnie Original, Big Beef, Red Beefsteak heirloom, Better Boy, flavor favorite Cherokee Purple, and any All America Winner. Full-size tomatoes with sweet or low-acid characteristics include Lemon Boy, Mr. Stripey heirloom, Bush Goliath, and Black Prince heirloom tomato.

Make sure you check the labels and get the ones that say things like beefsteak or the pound size is the largest. I find that container tomatoes do not grow as big, even in a huge pot. I have had 24 inch pots for tomatoes for about three years and no matter what I have planted, they come out smaller. I had a beefsteak patio tomato in one pot and not a single tomato got as big as they were supposed to, vs the ones planted in my garden. They are still the same as the beefsteak with much less water in them, just a more compact size. You will have to watch for calcium deficiency, it comes in the form of blossom end rot when the tomatoes start to change from green. I use a bottle of spray that is a calcium supplement, you spray the leaves so that it gets to the tomatoes really quickly to prevent it from happening or at the first sign of the rot on a tomato. In pots with daily or multiple daily watering, the soil gets the calcium, etc. leeched out fairly quickly. Remember that having them in pots will mean watering much more frequently. When it is really hot out, mine require at least two to three gallons of water over the day or they would start to wilt. Use a good fertilizer on the soil only, foliar feeding other than the calcium supplement I use, will cause great huge plants, but very little produce. The health of the soil is where the tomato production comes from.

big tomato variey, HUGE pot size, lots of water, and good soil fertilizer are what you need for big tomatoes
