I have had mixed results in containers. For cherry and grape, I have had very little to no BER. With paste varieties, it's been pretty much a disaster. The problem with the grape and cherry typed have been vine containment. Those things want to grow forever.

Ended up buying a few 25 gallon grow bags for my sugar baby watermelons.. I’ve already spent to much money and I’m just trying to get them in something at this point!

Sounds like I need to invest in some more pots, or another raised bed or two for next year.

Pulled the first few plants that were starting to die. Pleasantly surprised by size. Good fist size red potatoes.

I’ve tried tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets 3 different times. Failed miserably all three times. They either go in the ground or my raised bed now. I’m tired of fighting buckets.

One I have had 100% success on is the Husky Red cherry you can find at any box store. So easy to grow and they produce like crazy without being as viney as some of the grape varieties.
