Question for NRaleighLiberal [View all]

Do you grow all of your tomatoes and peppers in containers? Do you grow determinate (bush) and/or indeterminate (vining)? If you grow indeterminate, do you prune them? How do you support them? I am rapidly approaching my 69th birthday and am thinking of putting more of my garden into containers. Right now my sister (the real Brer cat) and I have 4 4x12 foot raised beds and 2 whiskey barrels for our veggies. I am going to put bell peppers in the barrels, everything else goes into the raised beds. We raise lettuce, swiss chard, pole beans, pole lima beans, eggplant, crowder peas, okra, trombetta squash (my new love!), broccoli, collards, turnip greens and mustard and 3 types of tomatoes...Big Boy, Romas, and cherry.

Zone 7, no. Georgia mountains
