Greenhouse tomatoes can be grown out door, make sure the pot is at least 10" diam, stick 4 canes round the edge of the pot equidistant, get one of those clear plastic bags dry cleaners use, and lower it over the canes, make a hole in the top to allow for air circulation, on a hot day roll the plastic bag up from the bottom, keep the plants well watered it will drink 1/2 gallon a day, don't let it dry out or the toms will split. When a tomatoe is ripe you will know by the colour and bloom on the skin. You can remove some of the larger leaves from the bottom of the plant, then you will grow more toms and not leaves.
