Fortunately, I live in a very sunny climate which should be great for growing tomatoes. Unfortunately, I only have a small, albeit, sunny deck for my growing endeavors. I grew beefsteak tomatoes last year. The vines, which were grown from seed and planted in 4 gallon containers were quite large and soon commandeered a large corner of my deck. But the fruit they produced were only about half the size that I am used to seeing beefsteaks grow to.
Should I have been pruning the plants and limiting the number of fruit grown or do I need to learn about specific types of fertilizer that tomatoes require. Would appreciate any input you might give me.
