Last year I started with BeefSteak tomatoes which were a little too unwieldy on my small balcony garden. This year I switched to a smaller Roma type tomatoes.

I have tried so many times to grow tomatos in containers, but they always end up really tiny, and the vines get a bit mouldy. I thought maybe I was watering too much, but when I tried to cut back with another plant, they wilt and also seem miserable! Yours look great though, very jealous.

Sounds like it could be a humidity issue, not a water issue. Maybe try moving them to a warm area that gets good air flow?

True... I do live in a very humid area too, maybe tomatos just aren't the right thing for me to grow...
