Hi Joyce. Great question. For towers, I recommend herbs, greens like chard, kale, and lettuce, micro dwarf tomatoes (read about them here), and even some small root crops like radish and baby beets. Some small hot peppers work, too.]]> In reply to Joyce Phelan.

Thanks for your help

Hi Suzi - I think Cherry Falls would be a great choice for half barrel. I haven't tried those, but I do love some of the other varieties of tumbling cherry tomatoes.]]> In reply to Suzi Gilmore.

I am hoping to use this variety–my husband wanted some cherry tomatoes and I thought I could grow these in one of those 1/2 barrel containers (plastic, not wood).

Will the container-friendly varieties you mention above also work well under grow lights and without warm summer temperatures? I have heard that some seed varieties can flourish indoors while others don’t do as well.
