Is this normal? How is it possible? Only in greenhouses? I must be really bad at gardening.

Last year my sun sugar grew to 6 feet tall but I probably got less than 100 tomatos off it, of course it was in a 14" pot.

I have a sungold seedling ready to go. I would be happy with my sungold reaching half that size, is it possible in a container? Do you think a 25 Gallon smart pot would work or do I need 65 gallons? My goal would be to get 500 tomatoes off 1 plant this year.

Anyone have experience with high yields in containers? I have 18 gallon earthtainers and 15 gallon smart pots this year, will they get me close to my goal?

I wish I didn't have a concrete backyard.

Thanks,

- Virtex
