I ordered a few of those 7-gallon smart pots so I can transfer my tomato plants and plant peppers and eggplants in them.

Any advice is appreciated.
Home Depot not a bad idea at all. That is where I get most of my veggies.
Make sure you have a "water catch basin" under the 5 gal pot. Those toms will suck down the water when planted in containers.
