I don't have your will.

I'll have 12-24 Better Boys, then 4's or 6's of whatever new varieties the local nursery carries. All in all, I'll have 36-42 tomato plants. I know I have no self control.

:lol: I only have "self-control" because I only have two raised beds so far.... just wait until I get more garden space :D

Well Seedcorn, you see that quite a few are still new-to-me. I have no trouble remembering when I used to have only one slicer variety and one cherry in the garden.

I had just over 60 tomato plants in the garden last year.
