SS, I have limited experience with large smart pots, but if your season is short, you might want to consider an alternative to Caspian Pink. The first year I did serious tomato growing, it was one of the latest to come in out of 70-80 plants, delicious though. Can you fit an additional slicing mater in your garden that matures earlier ?
