You can grow some beautiful tomatoes in these! Cucumbers, Zucs, various pepper varieties, onions, carrots and beans are some of the vegetables I've grown in mine. These will even work for strawberries.

Depends on how much sun your planters are getting (from which sides) and how well you prune your plants. I used to do 2 tomato plants per planter and let them grow wild. 3 is probably possible they don't block the sun for each other (happened for me when I had these on a balcony with sunlight only coming in from one side). Anything over 3 is probably pushing it because the roots will start competing for water and nutrients. In hot summer days I had to water these every day because 2 large tomato plants would drink the whole reservoir.
Prepare to replace the platlstic covers they provide every year. I just buy a box of contractor bags and cut them to size. I'm sure there are other, easier ways.
I'm planning on growing some determinate plants this year. My patio was a jungle last year because of these planters.
I've done up to 4 heirloom tomatoes (indeterminant) with a support system around the box

I use a weed barrier, cut to size, for the plastic covers with bungie cords from the dollar store. Each cover lasts about 2 years for me (YMMV), depending on how harsh the weather is (Midwest region). They might last longer if I remove them after the growing season but I'm too lazy 😅
Beauty is in winter you can simply put garlic bulbs in it and get garlic by end of may, so you get constant use of the pot/ potting mix year round.
Edit: also grew others like peppers eggplants… came out well… with good organic seeds, we got tomatoes good for 7 months during yield period of July- October.
