[–] lady_maria@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago (2 children) I wish I'd known how much pot space fruits and veggies need to thrive. Indeterminate tomatoes are supposed to have at least like 20 gallons. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 months ago (1 child) Companion planting, friend! You can grow garlic and basil in the same pot. They all three work well together. Also, if it’s indeterminate, trim that thing. It doesn’t have to keep growing to produce. Learn to compost, too.
