Crit - I started my Tumbling Toms last week, they are just little green pips right now, about 6 of them growing in my window sill. I'll need about 6 weeks more time to grow them for transplant. Since I only need one or two, I'll adopt out the rest. I've had pretty good luck shipping them cross country. They are a dwarf plant, so should grow well in your Topsy Turvy or whatever container you use (should be at least a gallon or two).

Better Boy and Beefsteak are both large "garden" tomatoes that don't belong in small containers, choose "dwarf" tomatoes such as Patio or Tumbler instead for better results. This is my Tumbler from last year, grown in a two gallon pail.
