Yeah, I have six toms in that little 2x3 bed, pruned to 1-2 stems. Doing good so far, should be interesting how 1 square foot treats them later in the season.

Orange Roma

This is such a lanky tomato plant. Even the leaves are long and lanky.

Lanky, kind of scraggly leaves

One of my Black Cherry Toms. I have two in a different bed.

Patio Princess, I worked them into the landscaping and so far they seem to look pretty nice there.

Tiny Red Robin, also worked into the landscaping.

So, because I'm crazy, and because I had extra plants, I stuck a Tumbling Tom in the top of the basket and a Megabite on the bottom upside down. The megabite did better than I expected down there, and the tumbling tom is huge. Both are setting fruit.

Minibels were an experiment and novelty. They've done well in my "vertical planter" (aka shoe organizer).

And finally, my upsidedown Bushsteak. The upside down thing was an experiment and a way to squeeze an extra tom in.

I apologize for the photo overload.

I really wasn't sure whether I was going to regret using this kind of spacing. LOL, still not sure I won't by the end of the season. But so far it's worked great. It's also the first time I pruned and it's really not as much work to do as I thought it would be to keep the plants at a size that works for the spacing.

I also really like the ladder supports. So far they work really well for supporting the plants with minimal upkeep.

Looks Great

So far I haven't done too much feeding. I think I hit them once this season with Pennington all purpose fertilizer (hose end sprayer).

I started the plants myself and would feed them with a dilute 10-10-10 when they were seedlings.
