Yeah I could so that for sure. I consider them trials in a way anyway, because I am always trying new tomatoes to see how they grow for me and if we like them. I don't understand the above quote though. Lost me a bit.

Are you saying plant in the trial beds 1, 2 & 3
bed 1 - 1 tomato
bed 2 - 2 tomatoes
bed 3- 4 tomatoes

and see how it goes make notes and that sort of thing?

If it is what you are saying, should I keep them all the same tomato or different ones? I think its a great suggestion just need a little clarification.

I think 28 tomato beds is a lot too- I feel like after 8 years of practice and all these special raised beds, I should be a pro by now. I feel like such an ameteur when it comes to nightshades. BUT they are my favorites!!!!
