I have to be careful of the acid in tomatoes but over the years, I found a few varieties that my stomach doesn't hate. The ones that seem to do well are: Yellow Pears, Kellogg's Breakfast Orange, and a tiny currant tomatoes that I can't find the name of anywhere!!
The following are a few of my favorite pics of my growing tomatoes:

| Black Cherry Tomatoes and a red slicer. I accidentally planted 2 different varieties in one pot. Both did well. |

| This is a pic of one of my harvests. Squash, peppers, cucumber, eggplant and, of course,, tomatoes. Yum!! |

My first dehydrator was a cheap round one but it worked. I love my new Excelsior though!
This tray of tomatoes dried about 6-8 hours until mostly dried and barely pliable. Bagged with a dessicant package added, then placed the baggies in a tightly sealed mason jar.
Living in a small apartment with a small patio (as opposed to when I had the farmette in Colorado), I had to make some adjustments. Most of my gardening is done in pots. Does it matter? Only in regards to quantity ... but not quality. I can still have a plant of each of my favorite low-acid tomatoes and as long as I take care of them, they will produce enough to save for the coming months AND provide some for fresh eating too.
How many of you grow tomatoes on your patio?
