Tomatoes - the edible fruit of Solanum lycopersicum, commonly known as a tomato plant, which belongs to the nightshade family, Solanaceae. The species originated in Central and South America. The Nahuatl (Aztec language) word tomatl gave rise to the Spanish word "tomate", from which the English word tomato originates. Wikipedia: tomato

Small container tomato
I'm looking for a tomato to grow in a pot this winter. Something compact that can be moved around as the temperature changes. Any suggestions?

Is this tomato safe to eat, why is the end sort of white-ish ?

Planted these late in the season - will there be no fruits until winter is past?
Hello! Newbie to planting tomatoes (though I have 40+ houseplants) and would love to get insights from more experienced folks. I planted these in mid-Aug, using seeds from some delicious cherry tomatoes from a friend's garden. I know Aug is very late in the season to plant them, but they now stand just over 2 ft tall and I have a few questions:
Is it ok to top them soon (say, when they're 3 ft tall or even now!) or would that badly impact the plant's ability to bear fruit somehow? I don't want them growing too tall as I live in an apartment and I'd prefer to keep them indoors all year round as winters are too cold where I'm at. Would love a sanity check before topping them!
Even if I top them, should I expect no fruits until winter is past and temperatures are warmer again?
Thank you so much for the help!

The fabulous ‘Black Beauty’
An absolute tomato classic that already features in many gardens
‘Black Beauty’ - One of my all time favourite tomatoes, Black Beauty is as delicious as it is striking looking. It’s the darkest tomato in the world with a skin packed with anthocyanin (the same antioxidant in blueberries), slice into it and you’ll find deep red flesh. One of the best tasting antho tomatoes, with a complex yet balanced flavour and an umami finish, ideal for slicing. Delicious! 🍅🖤

Biggest tomatoes/tomato sauce/paste lover here, wondering how can some people hate tomatoes? It's just so delicious
Since I'm having Acid Reflux unfortunately I had to stop eating (for like 3 months) my number one food that I love the most which is the tastiest for me which is tomato products and foods that has it in them of all kinds like Pizza/Pasta and many more that I love eating, but thank god that I gave it a try like a week ago with sauce of other types of tomatoes that are less acidic and now I can finally happily eat tomato sauce again and it makes my food now way tastier, so I enjoy my food now, tomatoes are just so very tasty, I think I'm addicted to it maybe, so I wonder, how do some people find it not tasty and hate it so much? I don't get it.

Reuse potting soil?
I used grow bags with potting soil for tomato and pepper plants this year. Besides removing the plants, what do I need to do to be able to use this soil for next season? I figured leaving the bags on my deck is a lot easier than hauling new soil up in the spring. Do I need to add something to feed new plants?

My wife's favorite snack is tomatoes, so she gets an assortment year round. Indoor/Kratky method.
She has obviously been snacking on these already, and some of them are even all gone! The ones on the back right without the label are Dwarf Velvet Night tomatoes.
These were all grown indoors hydroponically via Kratky method. I have done DWC before, and I may try it for one of the bigger dwarfs I just started but I don't think it's really necessary. I like to do Indeterminate tomatoes outside over the summer and Dwarf/Micro-Dwarf varieties indoors year round.
I just re-started a few more varieties this week after finishing up most of the harvests above:
* Micros: Dwarf Antho Pink Panther, Blaue Zimmertomate, Dwarf Christmas Tree, Dwarf Emerald Flame, Dark Striped micro
* Dwarfs: Grinch, Purple Reign, Velvet Night (a returning favorite, by request), Dean's Black Dwarf
I'm not sponsored and I don't have an affiliate link or anything, but I'm a big fan of the Dwarf Tomato Project and I get a lot of my seeds from Bountyhunterseeds. Happy Growing!

Do you think my Tomato looks like an Apple?
One of my last tomatoes of the year. I was looking at it afterwards and I thought to myself, that looks like a tomato to me. What do you think

Dwarf Tomato
I am going to try growing tomatoes for the first time. I am wanting to set up an ebb and flow system in my house so I don't think there will be enough room for a normal tomato plant. Do you guys have a recommendation for a good dwarf tomato plant that will give me "normal" tomatoes that i can use for sauces?

Late tomato harvest
Picked these today off my Goliath Bush plants.Only have eight plants and when Helene moved through the wind damaged every one of my plants but they are like a Timex watch.Takes a licking and keeps on ticking! I know Goliath Bush is a determinate plant but these bad boys will produce up till the first frost.I grow mine in containers and show them love every day.Planted April 15 and started getting tomatoes on June 22 and been getting them ever since.
