The tomatoes look great!!! And they've got plenty of room, too!!' Thumbs up

The grow-bags are interesting to me. Large tomato plants can how large root balls but I know the Alicante plants won't be giants. Even so, the root structure will spread out shallowly in the bags. Apparently this works well or the grow bags wouldn't be sold as much. Old like to see the root system of a couple of the plants after the season is over, if possible. Interesting. Thumbs up

Yes of course no problem Smiling
