Be good for dwarf French beans too?

I wouldn't put more than one plant in each container - tomatoes are supposed to have 18 inches between plants for instance. You might squeeze a couple of basket type toms in one, but putting 2 of the others in would just reduce the yield so that you might be no better off than with one plant.

Is there anything other than tomatoes I could grow in multiples in this size pot?

You could grow a couple of tumbling toms in them, if you can fit 1-2 in 12" hanging baskets I'd have thought you could fit 2-3 in a pot. Don't forget to feed them regularly though.

You could also do carrots, peas (tall ones with canes or mange touts would give you a bigger crop), or lettuce.

Squash and cucumbers get big but you get more than one 'fruit' from them.

I had a thought - could I put a couple of lettuce in with a tomato plant?
