Do you think I can plant these seeds?

You can start those seeds now if you want because they will grow through the summer. They have a wonderful flavor but be aware they are only about the size of a medium pearl and won't give you enough at any one time to make a meal of. I'd buy some small plants to set in your containers, but pick a few tried and true cherries; Husky Cherry Red, Super Sweet 100 or Sungold if you can find them.

I will be growing everything in containers inside my porch and inside my home.

Is you porch sunny? If not you're headed for doom.... Inside the house? TLI (too little information).

dianeha ~ How are the plants going to get pollenated? Are you going to do it by hand?

Tomatoes dont need bees for pollination they are self pollinated .

The one section of my porch is very sunny all day. I figured if I put them outside they will get destroyed by deer (I live in a very wooded area near a hunt camp, lucky me) I was thinking of putting the seeds in a hanging basket. Do I need any special seed starter and how many seeds do I but in the basket? Thanks for your responses. Diane

Hummm, hanging baskets are very limited. I grow tumbling toms in hanging baskets but it'll get too warm soon for them to fruit (outside) and you don't have enough time now to start them from seed. You'd really be better off to start a few plant sets of the above cherries I recommended in containers on the ground if you really want to start now. Alternatively, you may want to check out a few of these maters for next fall, or if you're really determined to try growing them inside, but growing maters inside is difficult at best and usually requires an artificial light source.

Try growing them now and experiment. I've never grown mine indoors but you could try. A hanging basket won't work as the plant grows like a shrub. Think 3x3. If you run out of seeds just ask for more. Anyone on this forum who grows Everglades or Matts always has plants springing up and is willing to share. Good luck.

Yup! I've got the dang things springing up everywhere, just when you think you have this WEED problem licked up they come somewhere else...guess that's why they say "friends don't let friends grow Matts/Everglades" ;-)
