I had some of these a few years ago, they had several 'pockets' for planting. I shoved Busy Lizzies in, they looked stunning! The plants covered all the plastic so it ended up a pillar of colour.

I haven't tried tomatoes, but I daresay if they are watered properly they should be fine. Similar to a hanging basket :D
I was born with nothing and have most of it left.

 :o watering these 5 times a day and they are still dry and toms are not doing very well have used water retaining granules but it all runs out of the bottom before they can soke it up :(

Try ice cubes or cut a pop bottle in half fill it with water the freeze it the stand it on top of the basket.
When you wake up on a morning say "good morning world" and be grateful
