Heartbreakers tomatoes are perfect in all ways. They have delicious taste, produce lots of fruits, can grow on the balcony in pots or in the garden. And there are 3 colors to combine.
There are even smaller tomatoes Ponchi F1 – Do, Re,Mi,Fa that grow 15-20 cm and have lots of fruits. Nice to grow all of them. Prudac breeds a lot of great varieties.

Yup, just look for determinate or bush varieties, like Celebrity. Or you can grow taller types but make sure they are in big pots and well staked. Good luck! – Niki

Egg shells take a long time to break down and likely won’t help your plants much this year. If you’re trying to reduce the occurrence of Blossom End Rot, I suggest reading this article by our Jessica – https://farm-kits.com/blossom-end-rot/. The key is to water consistently – don’t let your plants dry out to the point of wilting. Also, fertilize potted tomato plants regularly. Hope that helps and good luck! 🙂

Yes all three can be they’re indeterminate plants and grow at least 6 feet tall. Use strong stakes to support them and choose pots at least 16-18″ in diameter. Good luck! 🙂

Should I add egg shells to my soil for Sweet 100 and how much? Need to plant in a few days. I’m new to planting in containers. Thank you for all your help!

I powder up eggshells in a blender and add it to my potting mix. Adding crushed oyster shells helps. Oyster shells are available at your local feed store. They are commonly used for yard chickens. Since using the two remedies I described here, I haven’t had any blossom end rot on any variety be they in ground or in containers.
