We grew in pots again this year.  The cherry tomatoes did pretty well but we never seem to have the overabundance that others do.  The large tomatoes - I forget what type, maybe big boy - didn't do so well.  They grew well and ripened early but the taste just wasn't as strong as home grown tomatoes should be.  The bell peppers produced only a few small pepper that again were not as flavorful as they should have been.  I think we got one or two hot pepper, which I see as a bonus because they were planted in small pots and not given much care.

I think filling the pots with loam instead of proper potting soil may have been a factor.  We'll have to try something different next year.
