This is my first year at trying this ...

I have be given two types to grow ... Balcony Wonder and Lilliput

The BW's are sturdy plants now and bushing out well but the others have grown much taller that I was lead to believe ... are there other varieties that you folk prefer to use??

(I can find little info on Lillyput)

... pinching out the tip will sort the 'too tall' problem I suppose, but I was just wondering if this should be standard practice???

Anything else I should be doing??   :?
How often to feed too as they tend to dry very quickly, despite the quantities of moisture retentive ranules used!!  :?
 :?  :?  :?

Garten perle is good for containers but any small thing will do, they all will hang eventually, I had gardeners delight in window box last year, bit smaller fruit that's all, I fed them as per usual need a looooooooot of watering though. It was cropping the odd few well into the winter and never got blight in the shelter of the house somehow.

And Munty gave me some Tiny Tom seeds which I grew in an old tall waste bin.  But I thought Lilliput were a cordon tomato.

However as Gobs says, they will all go downwards after a while!!!!  But they do need loads of water and feeding.
