Still a pitiful amount compared to some growers.

ONLY 15!!!
Just gotta ask - does everyone have masses of room in GH's/polytunnels and how many plants of each variety do you all grow..?
I've got a good sized greenhouse, but unsure if I could cram dozens of different varieties in there.
Have used the commercial long grow bag thingies in the past - perhaps I could try planting into large, deep pots, 1 plant to each - what do you think?????

That's what many people do Susie, 1 plant per flower bucket or 3 plants per growbag.

I have a 24ft polytunnle. Running down one side is a raised bed. My tomatoes (1 of each variety) go in there in 2 staggered rows. They only have 3/4 length of the bed because I still need space for my cucumber, aubergine & sweet peppers. Space is a little tight but it's doable if I'm carful. Any other tomatoes go in flower buckets.
I think 15 is my limit.

I have an 8x6 greenhouse and plant in the borders. I can get at least 14 tomato plants in there and usually have one each of different varieties, plus spares for chancing blight outside.

I don't have a greenhouse,just blow away grow tents,tomatoes are mostly planted in the ground or in pots outside. I've got about 30 varieties,I'll probably do 2 of each variety or 3 seeds of some varieties.

[Small pumpkin]

See I told you I was am amateur. Only having 15 varieties of tomato on the go

[Elfeda]

It is really difficult to limit the count when you want to grow outdoor and newly growing and know there are many types available. I feel have enough plants from few early sowings. but still to start all reliable out doors. getting tough.

weldone Bigmally, for being able to choose one variety

[brownie]

ime planting five sticking to tried and tested varieties /maramand/sunbaby/gardeners delight/garden pearl/and money maker dont no weather to start them off now

[SusieG]

Thanks all! Better pull my finger out and get crackin this weekend with the other tom seeds I have lurking around in various disorganised boxes ...
I'm going to limit how many I start of each variety now - don't know about you, but I hate turfing out the smaller/weaker plants ....

[bussinspain]

I will probably grow 3 of each - maybe 4 of some though. Decisions decisions..............
