     might be a bit small of a container for a larger variety.   
   so you'll need to be sure to keep it properly watered.   
      
     tomatoes are self-fertile, if they don't seem to be setting   
   many fruits you can ding the flowers with your finger or shake   
   the plant once in a while.  also, if it gets too hot out you   
   can also drench the plant to cool it off (which may increase   
   disease pressure but if it is a choice between a crop and no   
   crop i'll take the disease too as often by the time the plant   
   is seriously affected the crop is mostly done anyways).
