I used to plant all varieties of tomatoes in those 5 gallon white buckets,
worked just fine.

I bought tomato plants this year (Big Boy) and with all the rain we had
every
weekend never put them into the ground. I just planted them in a large
pot
instead for the time being.

Will tomato plants grow like this (I like in NJ) or do they need to go
into the
ground to establish their full growth? Every year I want to get "patio"
tomatoes but by the time I get around to it they are gone or I can't find
them.
Can I make the regular tomato plants "patio" tomatoes instead?
