Feel encouraged to get such nice and quick replies, thanks, I have already posted a question into the general discussion, and also an answer, LOL, I'm glad to be here, I did gardenweb tomato growing forum many years ago, and I guess it's something like Houzz now or something but I couldn't make it work to save my life... Lol...

Welcome to the forum! I hope you aren't in that area of TN that just got 5" of rain, but then, growing in containers would be an advantage, in that case!
