Default How many do you grow?

I'm curious to the number of tomato plants everyone grows in a normal year. Please reply to this thread with ONLY A NUMBER and the word plants!

330 in the garden. I start about ten times that many to sell and give away.

40-50, depending on how close I plant them in a square foot garden setup. Although this year, I am probably going to grow less, space them further apart and compare production.

Usually 48-50.
Cutting back to 35 in 2018 if temptation doesn’t interfere!
