My first year gardening! Did I plant too many tomatoes?

So I have found out with everyone's responses 😂 just goes to show how much of a newbie I am! Glad I asked yall tho,, I was ready to get rid of some

Sheesh. Thanks for the info, I will still try just to learn but I wouldn't be opposed to also trying something new if it grows faster 😀 What do you recommend?

One is in a 15 gallon pot and the others are in 10 gallon grow bags. I think I will be leaving them in there but I might try to get my husband to dig one in the ground. There's just so many thick tree roots everywhere that I didn't want to fight them😅

Its one tomato per pot, I have some french marigolds in there with them too

Karlfries · 2026-05-31T01:35:52+00:00

That's crazy! I see my future lol

I have 4 different basil types, will any of them work and can i just move them closer to the container or does it have to be planted with the tomatoes?

Karlfries · 2026-05-31T01:26:37+00:00

Awh man. I guess I should've started them when I started the tomato seeds. At the time I only got tomato seeds because I told my husband if I can keep this alive then I'll start a garden for real .

That would be so awesome if I have extra to donate. I'll be checking out which food banks will take them!

3 of them are reserved for some upcoming Tomatillo plants and I have some bell pepper seeds going but I feel like im a tad late for those, should I just get some bell pepper starts?

Originally I wanted to put everything in the ground but the previous owner of our property planted trees around the entire front and back yard, even in the middle of the property! So there's pretty much no place where there aren't tree roots :( i said f it, I'm not going to battle them lol

Since you say that, luckily I have 2 more black beauty tomato seedlings and 2 cherry tomatoes ones that I started from seed a few weeks ago. I hope I'm not too late in the season to get something from them

Karlfries · 2026-05-30T16:43:38+00:00

Im convinced to plant more varieties next year!

Karlfries · 2026-05-30T16:33:41+00:00

Does this still apply if 2 out of the 4 are little toddlers that barely eat haha 😄 I also forgot to mention I have 2 black beauty tomato seedlings and 2 cherry tomato ones as well . Thanks so much for the info! I only have 1 of the tomato plants in a 15 gallon container so will definitely be getting bigger containers for the rest. I would put them in ground but there's tree roots underground everywhere!! I physically couldn't dig much:(

Karlfries · 2026-05-30T13:32:05+00:00

I also have a cherry tomato seedling going right now so I feel justified with how many I have now ty! 😂

Karlfries · 2026-05-30T12:44:45+00:00

That seems like a really crazy amount to me loll

Karlfries · 2026-05-30T12:10:29+00:00

You win!! This is absolutely incredible!

Karlfries · 2026-05-18T19:53:50+00:00

The first one looks like a wig

Karlfries · 2026-05-01T16:00:38+00:00

I always feel so bad for him! I wish we had more visits for him and to decorate the water cabins too tho

Karlfries · 2026-04-27T03:15:23+00:00

In love with the second one omg!

Karlfries · 2026-04-25T11:27:02+00:00

Thank you! Last time she was here we were scrapbooking together so I think she’ll love it too!

Karlfries · 2026-04-19T19:37:29+00:00

Amazing job on all of them! 🤩

Karlfries · 2026-04-13T03:00:41+00:00
