You can use 5 gallon for small tomatoes. I did it last year, but honestly 7 gallon for the usual varieties. If you have a variety of tomato that likes to get out of hand, upgrade to a 10 gallon.

I grow 2 pepper plants per 5 gallon. Includes Bell, Wax, Banana, Jalapeno, and Super Hots.

Other stuff. I don't know. You would have to expeirment. Cucumbers, I would guess a minimum of 7 gallon. Anything along the line of Summer Squash/Zuchinni, 10 gallon. And thats 1 plant per bag.

Last year we did toss some sweet potatoes in a 10 gallon bag. A critter came and ate the leaves down... so your results might very.
