I planted three tomato plants a few weeks ago.  The first was inside that Tomato Tree gizmo you’ve probably seen on TV.  The second plant went inside a large planter and the third plant went straight into the soil.

It has now been about three weeks since the plants went in and here’s photographic evidence of the growth.  In retrospect, I should have put a rule or measuring stick next to the plants so the growth/size would be visible.

So far, the tomato in the large planter has grown the largest.  I measured the plant to be about 20″ and full of many branches (no pruning), the tomato tree plant has grown about 16″ although it was a bit difficult to tell because the plant curls around the bag toward the sun and does not have anywhere near the foliage the planter plant contains.    The smallest plant at about 13″ is the plant placed in the soil but to be fair, it is in a spot that doesn’t get as much sunlight as the other two plants.    All plants have been watered regularly and once a week get Miracle Gro liquid fertilizer.

None of the plants are bearing any fruit for now but I expect them to do so over the next couple of weeks.   Yield, taste and size will be measured to see which tomato plant is the best.
