I decided to plant my tomato plants in big pots this year. This way I could try a different part of our yard without building raised beds so that I could see if there would be enough sunlight for them.
Last year the back yard was shaded most of the afternoon and did not seem to get enough light.
Planting the young plants in pots also got rid of the problem of slugs eating them. The problem that did show up in one plant was blossom end rot which was fixed with the quick addition of lime for the calcium deficiency.
Considering that we were away in May and I did not get them planted until the beginning of June they have done not to bad. I planted four different varieties in pots.
