Growing tomatoes in pots – the most important things from location to variety. Tomatoes don't need a bed: they produce good yields in a pot on the balcony or terrace.

Opt for compact cocktail tomato varieties or those specifically bred for container growing, such as 'Bajaja', 'Tiny Tim', 'Rotkäppchen' or 'Tumbling Tom Red' You can also use taller tomato varieties, but they will require a climbing aid. Beef tomatoes or bushy and lush wild tomatoes are less suitable.
