Growing tomatoes in a pot instead of in the ground

[Road Dust]

There's some kind of plant, .. it's about 6 feet tall and standing up vertically like a tree, .. was not even there 3 weeks ago because I burned off the whole area, .. it looks like a tomato plant. Same kind of stalk and leaves. It's growing in that turbo-charged super-fertile soil by the creek. I almost chopped it up with my bush hog the other day but at the last second thought "what if it IS a tomato plant?" and I swerved around it.

Now that I'm thinkin' about it, I think I'll go get some pictures of it.

It very well could be a volunteer tomato plant. I have had them come back up the following year in my garden. It was a nice surprise.

Nah, it's just some kind of weed I haven't seen before. It was hard to get a picture of it today because the wind was about 30 mph all day.

Looks like it has some blooms on it. On man's weed is another's flower. Sometimes wild weeds/flowers have medicinal uses. Just sayin'.

I am getting about 1 tomato about every other day. My plants don't look anywhere as nice as yours mustang. I had way too much rain and then too much sun and heat.

Too much rain will never be a problem for me. But the heat always is, 93 days of 100+ last year.
That's why I started in early March, hoping they will be mature enough to stand it better when it gets really hot, which is right around the corner.
