big? I have used cages in the past, but they are not tall enough for

ten feet tall. How often do you water your container tomatoes? What
varieties
are you growing? What has done best for you in containers? .

I just wire another cage onto the old one when they get too tall. Most of
my tomatoes are three cages high. I'll Email you some pictures to give you
the idea.
In the summer, I watered them once a day.
Everything type of tomato I've planted so far has done fine in the
containers except, oddly enough, the bush tomato I planted that was
*recommended* for containers. It seemed to have trouble pollinating and
produced a mere 4 tomatoes this year.
