I grew them last year. Plant them and stand back!! I put up all kinds of
sauce very early last year and we had a cold wet summer here in eastern PA.
I grew them caged, 1 per square foot in the middle of 2 of my squares and
grew lettuce in the shade behind them.

They might work in a container. Make sure it is big enough, can support a
cage or some kind of support system. It would get pretty top heavy when the
thing gets a growin. They ended up more like 28 - 36 inches tall.

Side Note: Also enjoyed their yellow pair tomatoes as well as Brandywine and
Burbank.
