How would you like to grow large, juicy, and delicious celebrity tomatoes in your garden? What if I told you that you could grow these tomatoes without even owing a yard? That’s right - by using a container garden. But there are a handful of things you’ll need to remember to ensure you have a great harvest of tomatoes… Celebrity tomatoes are determinate. This means that they’re the short, bushy type. Quite a good choice for containers, actually. For starters, you needn’t worry about staking your tomato plants. But it also means that you’ll need a little more space for your tomato plants. Read on though, because with proper pruning, you won’t even notice this extra space requirement. Firstly, let’s talk about how to choose the correct container size for your celebrity tomatoes. Keep in mind that these tomatoes can grow to quite a large size, so I suggest that you either use a large growing pot, or grow just a single tomato plant per container. Either way, the major consideration here is to give your tomato plants sufficient growing space. In order to grow large celebrity tomatoes, add a modest amount of nutrients to your plants diet. This can be in the form of some extra organic compost, or even a liquid based fertilizer.

Prune off extra stems and leaves that simply take up space and waste nutrients. This way, your tomato bush will more compact, and the fruit it produces will grow larger and to better health. Celebrity tomatoes can grow to quite a large size, and they can be grown in large containers if you don’t have a full sized backyard garden. Just ensure that you give each tomato plant enough space to grow well, and that you add a good helping of nutrients to their diets.
