I grew these in 5 gal containers. They had a terrible case of early blight (we had a wet summer this year), but still produced a good number of early, beautiful tomatoes. Unfortunately, the tomatoes were completely flavorless. I know these are supposed to do well in poorer soils, so maybe my rich container mix and the unusually wet summer contributed to the lack of flavor. (Though the Glaciers grown under the same conditions were quite flavorful)
