I'll just say here that if you have 4square feet of ground-- a corner
of a flower bed-- steal from the lawn- take up a block or 4 from the
patio- street median. . . whatever. Use that and you're in for an
easier time than container growing tomatoes.

Not saying it isn't done, done often, and done well--- just saying
that the most important thing for good tomatoes [after lots of direct
sun] is a *steady* source of moisture & food. It is a lot easier
to accomplish that in the ground.
