 Dear Margaret L. and all other SQFT. Friends,  What do you like for tomatoes 
if you don't think the three ring cages are good?  What is it you don't like? 
I will be trellising some but some will go in cages.  I was going to buy some 
square cages from Parks seed catalog that also has plastic type bags you can 
purchase to put over the cages if you have an unexpected cold snap.  You can 
also cut slits in them if you are worried about heat build up.  I was going 
to get these because I read that tomatoes won't set if the night temperatures 
are under 55 degrees or if it's very windy.  In my particular micro climate 
in zone 8 I only have 2 months out of the year where the average night time 
temperature is in the 50's.  Also, it can be very windy.  Now the days can go 
up well into the 90's in mid summer, but the nights always cool down.  We 
just started our garden and would welcome anyone's advise on this tomato 
matter.  
Also has anyone ever grown potato in containers.  I have seen so much 
conflicting advise on the web.  How big was your container? What type of 
spacing did you use? How many seed potatoes did you plant? How tall do you 
need your container to be?
Thanks in advance, Kimberly
