Any rate it took me quite a few years to figure out that as much as I liked to choose a particular pot, not necessarily the same one, it did not mean that my idea of growing a tomato successfully was going to happen. I was choosing pots that were too small. I was choosing a pot that suited my patio not.

Well, eventually I did manage to grow tomatoes in pots and very successfully. For many years I tried to grow tomatoes in pots but I just did not have much success.

Or in this hayden one of those who just would not give up!.

I gave them fertilizer and all that was required from the nutritional point of view, but I still could not get the results I wanted. Just a simple change made it all happen. I am a trier, you know, one of those people who cannot be told 'no'. Well, it was all so simple when I got my head out of the sand. It was several years before I finally gave in and did some more research to find out why my tomatoes were not growing that well.

Of course, that gave my ego a bit of a boost.
