Default swc pick from my list

here are the varieties i have germinated for the season. please pick 2 to go in my new 20 gallon swc's filled with the 3-2-1 mix. i would love to hear your experience with these varieties whether it be in a regular container or swc.

grubs mystery green
brandywine pink
brandywine from croatia
kelloggs breakfast
purple calabash
cherokee purple
brandywine x Neves azorean red f4 RL


all of these plants will have a home in my raised bed but which would thrive in a swc?

Jeff,

I highly recommend the MarNar, as well as the BFC to grow this Season.

Jeff,

While I have grown Tendersweet carrots in EarthTainers, frankly carrots are not a good R.O.I. in my opinion. I would dedicate the available space to tomatoes, peppers, and other vegetables which taste much better home-grown than store-bought varieties.
