(Left to Right) Sungold, San Marzano, Black Krim.
I've never had homegrown, or even a tomato that wasn't from the grocery store before, so I'm growing my own tomatoes for the first time. 🙂 Super super excited for them to grow. Hoping they perform well and I don't lose any to disease/pests!
Bought them from a nursery. Sungold and San Marzano were transplanted April 19, Black Krim I got and transplanted on May 4 because I decided I needed a beefsteak to complete the collection. Also they all seem to be developing flowers right after transplant, not sure what's up with that but I think I'll leave them alone and let them do as they will.

They will get very tall – like 7′ tall – and might outgrow your cages. They also need support the whole way up or they’ll fall over. I recommend you get a tall stake a tie off the main stem as well as some side stems you can’t support.
The toughest thing I found when growing in containers is keeping the soil consistently moist. Swings in moisture cause all sort of problems.
I think you should have success if you keep them supported, keep the soil moist and well fed with a soluble balanced fertilizer.
