Ladies I didn't give up tomatoes when the garden became full of flowers. We have a very large half moon shaped patio the entire lenght of our house on which I have a couple tomatoes growing large pots. My DH made a long rectangular cedar planter box with attached supports for more tomatoes it fits next to a garage entrance door then extends to the end of the garage which extends beyond the house. This gives us plenty of tomatoes plus I also have plenty of space for some potted annuals on the patio creating privacy when we sit out there. I do have more yard space that could be used for tomatoes but I like having them in planters as it works well for me in our northern climate. This sounds silly but I don't mind weeding flowers but do very much mind weeding veggies in the ground.
