Oh Dave I am on my way out to pick tomatoes and am on a time crunch for tonight is date night and we leave for San Francisco early. So I must scoot. But funny you bring this thread up.....I was going to look for you. Since I last talked to you I have been trying a small pot too just to see how it does.

Here is a 2 year old seedling that has never been repotted. I brought it home when I retired to give to someone. It is a seedling from a Susie French seed and gets quite dark. Since speaking to you I moved it behind my front gate so I would see it many times a day to make sure I would water it a lot. It worked. I have been fertilizing it a lot too. As you can see, it is doing great.

The flowers are past, but I left them on so you could see how it has flowered!

My gate is about 6 feet tall so you can see how big it is.
