The Beauty Of Growing Cherry Tomatoes In A Hanging Basket Container
Copyright (c) 2010 Kaye Dennan
Ripe cherry tomatoes growing in hanging pots are really a delightful sight. I bought my first one from a garden center. The set up of the cherry tomatoes looking so delightful in a hanging basket container was something that I have not forgotten and am planning to grow myself another one this week. They just make you want to rush inside and make a beautiful, healthy salad.
I made a mistake with the one I purchased because I hung it where I could see it but it did not get full sunlight, just dappled light. This caused the plant not to grow as well as it should have but I won't fall for that again. The green tomatoes that were on it did ripen, but the plant didn't really grow that well after that.
Setting Up A Hanging Basket With Cherry Tomatoes:
- Purchase a wire basket, not too small. I am going to aim for one 14 inches across the top. I will put a coco liner in to hold the soil
- The soil will be prepared with organic compost and 8-8-8 fertilizer
- I am going to use the container watering method so I am going to 'plant' 2 small plastic containers either side of the plant and will be filling those with water so that they drip feed the water, rather than the once or twice a day watering of the whole pot
- Find a spot to hang the basket where it receives at least 6 hours full sunlight every day
This time I am going to hang the basket from the side of the patio roof where it will get the sun nearly all day long. That is why I have chosen this particular watering method because I know the plant will receive water slowly throughout the day.
What Tomato Plants Will I Grow?
I am going to plant a bright red cherry tomato and then in about 5 weeks I will plant another hanger and this time will choose a yellow grape tomato and this way I will be spreading out the picking time. I am so looking forward to getting them set up. I am so excited.
Since the time when I bought the first set up we have moved and where we live now we have wild parrots visit morning and night for a feed. It will be interesting to find out who wins the fight over these beautiful cherry tomatoes! The parrots or me!

Why are the leaves on my cherry tomato plant turning yellow?
I am growing it in a large pot, it grew tall and has alot of tomatoes, but the bottom leaves are turning yellow
It's pretty common to see this on tomato plants and really isn't too big a deal, I've found.
Either they aren't getting enough water consistently or there is not enough nitrogen in your potting soil.
If it really bothers you, fertilize with a good quality vegetable fertilizer (follow the directions on the package) and keep watering deeply and consistently.
