i have tumbling tomato plants and 4 12" hanging baskets, my question is how many plants should i put in each basket and should i put them all in the top or have some growing out of the sides like you might do with flowers? thanks

Hello Meow
I would say only one plant per basket and plant at the top. I've grown T toms in 12" pots and they do become quite big sprawling plants. Keep them well watered and fed all the time, switching from a general feed to a tom feed when you have some small green fruits.
