There are too many variables to know. This year I planted an Early Girl in a 25 and the rest of about 30 various plants in the ground in hopes of an early container yield. No luck. The tomatoes came at the same time. 2/3s of the inground tomatoes did not do well at all although now they are looking better. 1/3 of the in ground did very well. The container started well and then fizzled out.

With good watering diligence and the right fertilizer I think you can get better consistency with a 25. I do better in the ground because I like to plant and forget except for turning on the drip irrigation about every five days.
