Is it ok to grow just one plant? Some plants don't seem to grow well unless there are two of them. Also, will this grow well in a 15-gallon bucket (~2.25 sq. ft, 18" deep)?
Thanks, Dave

Hey there! As an experienced gardener and landscaper, I've seen a lot of folks grow tomatoes successfully, and I'm happy to share my advice with you.
Growing just one Galahad tomato plant is perfectly fine, and there's no hard and fast rule that says you need two. However, it's true that some plants, like certain varieties of tomatoes, can benefit from having a companion plant to cross-pollinate. This can lead to better fruit production and stronger growth. But don't worry, growing just one Galahad tomato plant is totally doable.
As for the container, a 15-gallon bucket is a decent size for growing tomatoes. Just make sure the bucket has proper drainage, as tomatoes don't like to sit in soggy soil. You'll also want to consider the amount of sunlight the plant will get, as tomatoes like at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day.
Here's what you need to do if you want to grow a Galahad tomato plant in a 15-gallon bucket:
Here's a list of tools and materials you'll need to get started:
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or if you need more information.
