Tomatoes grow really well in pots. My sis in town did it yearly. I had tomaotes in a pot hanging down the side of the porch and ate off it all summer. Just let it hang if you have a high porch .. Beware it grows down an you have to pick from the bottom an top.lol
My firetail is in a pot. I was able to bring it in over winter and keep it alive. It started showing new flowers in February!
