Hello! I'm making my first attempt at container gardening this year. I'm planning on planting a couple cucumber plants in one pot with a trellis behind it and planting a tomato plant each in one or two other containers. From what I've read online, I'll be looking for an indeterminate variety of tomato, so I can enjoy tomatoes all summer long. I've read that as long as I provide proper support, water, and occasional fertalizer, I should be safe with just about any determinant variety. My local temperatures typically range from 80-100 degrees from mid-May through the first week or two of September.
I was hoping for recommendations on favorite tomato varieties. I would prefer full-size tomatoes (though beefsteaks may be pushing it). I don't mind sweetness in my tomatoes, but I'd like it to be balanced with some tartness as well. We will primarily be eating these tomatoes fresh. If you have a favorite variety that you've never grown in a container, by all means, still suggest it.
For the varieties that you suggest, once they start bearing fruit, how often do you get fruit from them? (This will help me determine how many plants I will grow).
Thanks a bunch in advance!
