Thank you. This was extremely helpful. I see I need a bigger pot. Hmmmm can I have success with a smaller pot? I’m afraid to transplant at this point.

Oreo, I am talking about the liquid fertilizer once a week. Also I let the first sucker grow so I get two vertical stalks and pull all other suckers. You can even put a mirical grown liquid canister inline with your watering hose and just fill it once a week.

I live in New Jersey and summers are hot.. not as hot as Cali but still hot. Is direct sun light okay for 10 hours a day for the plant as long as I water them? And what do you mean by Miracle Grow once a week? You change the soil once a week? Or you just add some more once a week?

I grow the Celebrity tomato in containers and have great crops, I use 4 gallon mayonaise buckets that I get for free from a local restaurant. I enrich the soil each year and use a timer on a drip system. Miracle Grow once a week and lots of sunshine.

Brilliant! I’m ashamed to say I didn’t even think of this. I have a small metal dog cage sitting on the deck already. Thank you so much!
Given my mischievous nature, I think I’ll try the hot pepper/peanut butter idea too.

Good vid. I have a question. I have a deck (2nd floor apartment) with an overhead awning and a northwestern exposure. I also have squirrels living nearby (in the roof, in fact). Any recommendations?
Also, I was looking at the Topsy Turvy, a product that grows the plant upside down. Basically hydroponic, I guess. Any opinions on this?

Miracle-Gro? Ack! I’d skip the chemicals and go with a good organic soil w/ a compost mix.

If your climate is warm year round and it doesn’t freeze, you can plant any time. If you live in an area that freezes you need to allow yourself a min. of 75 days of warm weather. In my area I plant May 15 and harvest the end of July…first part of August.
