In 2010 we grew several different varieties of tomatoes in urns on a rear porch because of the poor soil quality in our community. When doing this you need to be sure the containers are big enough for given plants possiblel root growth and you will likely need to water them almost double as often as the dirt tends to dry out. Also right before they ripen either cover them or harvest them as birds will ruin your plants as they cant stay away from the bright colors.

Mike, We had the hail yesterday but thankfully everything survived and was just happy about getting properly wet at last.

Love this site, loads of interesting information.
I’m at 800mts slap bang in the geographical center of Catalunya.

I hope that hail storm the other day either missed you or didn’t do to much damage.
I lost about half my tomatoes and the runner beans look like war damage.

Still a small price to pay for the peace and tranquility that I have on my little mountain

A Question About Your Tomato Growing Article

My name is Alan Pearce and I’m currently creating an ebook on Vegetable Growing. I came accross your

article, “Top Three Tomato Growing Tips”, on a number of different sites and realised that you are an expert in this niche market.

I have read your article and feel that you’d be perfect for inclusion in my new ebook.

I am currently putting together an expert compendium on the subject and I’d be delighted if you would be

kind enough to let me include your article in my book. Also, if you had any other articles please send

them over and if they’re suitable, I can include them too.

Of course, I would include links back to your website and this would mean free visitors to your website

and publicity without you spending a dime. Not only that, as I intend to market this product in a big way,

your reputation as an expert would be enhanced even further.

I’m sure you will agree that this is a win-win situation for you, Lec, and all you need to do is email

me back with confirmation that it is ok to include you in the expert compendium and I’ll do the rest.

Thank you for your time – I look forward to hearing from you.

Alan Pearce

P.S. I’ll be more than happy to send you a copy of the completed compendium prior to publication.
