A:  Cary, We recommend you transplant any indeterminate style tomato but any determinate or bush type will work great in the cage provided.

A:  Yes, I bought mine there last week on Sunday and it was $3.00 for the 4.5” pots. Great deal and the plants were hearty, full of color, and blooming already.

A:  It would be nice if they put the 5 for $15 on a sign somewhere. Nice selection, I passed because everything was marked full retail. I have other options that are free.

A:  I don't know about a warranty, however, I have had fantastic luck with these tomatoes. It sounds like they got cold. Try putting them in new potting soil and try to find a little warmer area, also some sunshine. Should do okay.

A:  Take it back to the store they will refund your money or give you 5 new plants

A:  Cityfarmer, This tomato will need to be transplanted into a larger container soon. You can still keep it in doors in a sunny spot. They require 6+ hours of sun a day. A Better Boy Tomato will not be a good choice to grow indoors due to they can reach 7ft. high.

A:  A tomato plant can be grown indoors year around as long as the plant is kept in a southern window, the temperature is kept a 65 degrees.

A:  As long as it stays healthy with the water and sunlight it gets in its pot in the window. But it will be happier in the ground as soon as the danger of a freeze is over! Better Boys are hardy, but they grow fastest in well tended gardens.

A:  Mouse, The pot is 4.5 inches in diameter across the top of the pot. Plant size varies they can be anywhere from four inches tall up to ten inches tall upon arrival.

A:  It's the diameter of the top of the pot.

A:  The pot is 6 inches tall and 4.5 inches across at the top. The plants were between 8 inches and 12 tall, leafy and ready to go in the ground. They grew quickly and produced plenty of big, dense tomatoes, so they definitely need to be staked for support. You can't go wrong with Better Boys from Home Depot, in my opinion.

A:  Get it in the ground if there is no longer a chance of a freeze, and be sure your soil is ready - - a good fertilizer or compost or whatever is needed in your part of the country to replenish soil nutrients. If weather is "iffy," add a bit of good potting soil to the poor baby until it can be planted. Tomatoes are pretty hardy, so it should survive, if not exactly thrive, until it goes in the ground.

A:  Typically blight can be caused by environmental issues. You might want to try a fungicide of your choice to proactively assist in preventing environmental issues.

A:  Contact the Agriculture agent from your local University/ extension or Co-op on this one. He/she will know your local plant diseases and to prevent them. I was separate to save my yellow tomatoes two years ago, and an extension agent from Texas A & M was so helpful!

A:  We estimate 78 days after planting our transplant. You can find more information in this link: https://bonnieplants.com/product/big-boy-tomato/
