How often should I water my heirloom tomatoes that are about 2 months old? Are they annuals or perennials?
Question:I got these heirloom tomatoes 2 months ago and they are getting really big. I'm feeding them every two weeks and wondering if I should plant them in the ground. I don't want to to do that if they are just gonna die after bearing fruits once as my space is limited. They are in an area with full sun in pots. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Answers:
In dry weather water them daily, we are also growing tomatoes in large pots on our back deck, you are doing well with the fertilizer, however heirloom tomatoess will die just like regular tomatoe plants, the best part is that with heirloom tomatoes you can save the seeds, wash them and lay on a paper towel to dry and when dry put them in a jar with a lid and save them for next year and replant..heirloom tomatoes are neat because the seeds can be saved for next year...they are the older varieties before all the hybrids came out. good luck and enjoy your tomatoes!
I have my tomatoes in large pots and I usually have to water them everyday unless it has rained. Tomatoes like alot of water and hot humid weather. I also have some tomatoes planted in the ground but they are not growing as fast as my container ones.
