How many 'maters...

.... can go in a half-barrel?

I've got a zillion (seems like) seeds started, some determinate, some indeterminate. I don't know how big they'll really get.

I read somewhere on here that someone had put upwards of 5 plants in a half whiskey barrel?? I was planning on 3-4 each (3 indeterminates, or 4 determinates), but if I can stuff more in there, I'm willing to do so.

Also... have got several 16-18" x 20" tall (10-12 gallon?)square pots. Was planning on putting 2 sweet bell pepper plants in each, and 2 dwarfish (< 4') tomatoes in each. Would this be too crowded, d'ya think?

Thanks muchly...
