Yes...my containers finally arrived and I was able to plant my hanging tomatoes. I bought a container from Gardeners that is self watering. So far, so good. The tomatoes are doing well and growing (the Roma tomato plant is really taking off). I'm usually weary about the self watering containers, but so far so good! The plants get just the right amount of water and the water doesn't hit the leaves (which I heard can cause tomato rot and other bad things).
The wonderful stand is back ordered. For now, the tomatoes are hanging anywhere I had a hook or somewhat sturdy place for them to hang. I will have to move them soon though because they are getting heavy.
In the spirit of experimentation (that's what this gardening season is all about), I also planted Heirloom tomatoes in a regular container. I want to see which does better. To be fair, the tomatoes in the container were fairly new seedlings given to me by a colleague. So, it's not as big as the one growing from the baskets. I'll keep you posted on how they're doing.
