Yeah, I think I am going to try to space out the tomatoes. Maybe I'll do two potted, and the rest in the bed, just in case I'm unable to outsmart the cat.

Glad to hear brandywines are a good variety! I do like having tomatoes around for cooking, and it's just so nice to go out and grab one.

I'd forgotten that thing about piling up dirt around the potatoes! I will try it.
