Tips for spacing tomatoes in pots

This is my first year growing tomatoes. I bought big boys and tommy toes. I have them in containers in my garden by the side of my house. How many plants should be in a container? I have 2. I have a large basket that I put seeds in and those are about 10. Should I move some of them?

Your tomatoes will give the biggest harvest if they have their own pot. These hungry plants do not like to share and they also need good air circulation to help prevent disease. You are going to have a great harvest with all those plants. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
