I don't grow them, just to say up front. If you are just holding the plants til the ground is ready, can you transplant them into larger pots to give them more growing room.

I've grown them in the past. They can grow quite big although I think there are several varieties, not well documented.

The ones I've grown do ok without support, but ramble a bit (branches droop down, then grow up again). They are like a smaller tomatillo plant, which I find definitely needs some support.

I think I have a decent picture of what a patch of them look like in September from back in 2008. Now that I look at it, I think they really could have used some support. In the front are some pepper and eggplants for comparison.

I found picking them to be quite a chore. I think that's where the high price comes from. It will take you a fair amount of effort to pick a pound!

I raise them, and they are hit and miss as far as sales go. They are kind of an acquired taste. I would suggest that you plant them on black plastic as they're really not ready until they fall off. They're much cleaner on the plastic and easier to gather up. I like Aunt Molly's.

I have ... most of them are indeterminate.

You can put them into larger pots until it's warm enough, and I know people who have grown them in patio containers ... however, I heard from someone who was growing them in Canada, so it might be warm enough to plant them outside.
