container tomatoes

The local humane society had a garden sale / bake sale this past weekend and we picked up two cheap tomato seedlings. There's no place for a garden, so I'm trying a container garden this year. I'm basing my efforts on the blog Backyard Granger, the owner of which produced great tomatoes in the same 5-gallon buckets I'm using. This variety of tomato was labeled "patio" and is supposed to be good for growing in containers. Not much to say about them yet - all I did was drill holes in the buckets, add rocks and dirt, and plant the tomatoes. We'll see how they do. I have them in a bright sunny place between the electric meters and the driveway.
