I sometimes put 2 Tumblers in, but that's usually because I am desperately trying to get somewhere to put them!!I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....

I've done it with one and with two and to be honest you don't get much difference in yield with two plants as they are competing with each other. I only put one in these days.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Is Tumbling Tom the variety or just a description? I grew "100s & 1000s" last year - about 4 plants i think and produced loads of tiny, sweet tomatoes. I used one of the hanging baskets with a water reservoir in the base and it worked a treat!Comment

Tumbling Tom are very similar to Tumbler though not as tasty in my opinion.
I grow Tumbler at one per big basket on a south facing wall, they are big vigorous plants and can dry out very quickly.Potty by name Potty by nature.

Susie I never use a water reservoir. Ive done tumbler baskets before but with our temps and short season I end up with green toms, I don't mind ..I make chutney or ripen in a bowl indoors.Northern England.Comment

9 plants! I'd remove most of those if I were you, they'll be very short on compost per plant.Originally posted by SusieG View PostI'm growing 100's & 1000's in a hanging baske t for the first time this year - I have 9 plants in it and no water reservoir .... guess I'll have to keep my eye on it ...
