Tomatoes and peppers don't actually need terribly large containers.. just more care in not drying out.. one hot day with no water can devastate..last year (I am in Toronto) we had another cold wet spring into late June

Tomatoes, peppers and various melons and squash did nothing until end of June.
Last two years have been like that.. late cold and early frosts.


So depending on where u r.. May is great.. traditionally in my area May 24 is start date for heat lovers.. but frost risk or cold and overly wet is what get last few years.. then 2 month heat burst.. not long enough really.. I am doing more cool weather crops this year if they open up the community plots in time.. my season may be a bust though due to Covid reaction in Ontario..
