    OK, I have a sickness and despite a complete lack of space I cannot seem to stop accepting plants to grow. My latest additions to my tomato collection are Principe Borghese and Juliete. Both are healthy transplants and since I have so little space, but cannot say no to a neighbor's gift, I wanted to know if anyone has grown these before?

    I'm thinking of trying to plant them in containers, but am not sure if either variety will be suitable for a 5 or 10 gallon pot. At first I thought, small-fruit varieties, must equal small plants...then I remembered those 8 foot tall yellow pear plants that literally took over last year!

    If they can go into containers, what is more important? Container depth or width?--I also hear people say you should use a 5 or 10 gallon container, but that could be in many different shapes right? Any thought?
