How many tomato and chilli plants do you grow?

[Containergardener]

I've never got to 'glut' stage so wondered what you have.

Last yr 12 toms ,various types, some started late so my short season didn't help.
Chilli I think 3 last yr all same type I think

This yr toms 0 , chilli 5 2 cayenne, 2 something ? And an Apache
All in greenhouse unheated.

I don't grow chillies as I don't like them.

This year I am growing the following fairly typical number of plants.
Tomatoes at home:
4 balconi sown Feb for early and late crops - 2 crops per plant, the first in the house May-June, the second outside July-blight (last year was October).
8 Shirley sown Jan and Feb to stay in the house for tomatoes from May onwards. Often last into autumn, but this year there will be a break as all the fruit is ripening at once after the hot weather in early July. Height is limited to 2-3 trusses of fruit, sideshoots are trained from the bottom to replace the main shoot for later fruit (this is unusually slow this year).
3 Shirley outside, grown from sideshoots - these will probably only produce a couple of trusses each as Shirley is slow outside. Fruit expected in September.
5 Sungold outside should start fruiting in August and usually produce masses of fruit until blight hits.
2 Mountain Magic - as for Sungold.
3 Ferline - produce smaller quantities of bigger tomatoes ready from September.
3 Crimson Crush - new this year (last year I grew more Mountain Magic)
1 Megabyte (experimental).

At my friend's:
9 Shirley in the greenhouse, fruit just starting to turn red
1 of each Ferline, Crimson Crush and Belle (beefsteak) in the greenhouse, will fruit a bit later than the Shirley.
2 Mountain Magic outside.

Total plants = 41. Unless there is a disaster with blight I expect to have enough fruit to eat as many fresh tomatoes as I can use between now and January with more than enough to keep me going in the freezer until next year's crop is ready as well as supplying my friend with as many as she wants and taking some to my Mum.

Oops - forgot 2 garden pearl in the greenhouse - that makes 43.

I have to go to work soon, but I will be back later with lists for you. I have to go and do a head count

[burnie]

I have in an unheated greenhouse:-
Cayenne x 3(tried growing others they failed to germinate)
Sweet pepper(from a garden centre as I was struggling with these as well) x1
Sweet pepper(not in a pot from seed and doing rather nicely) x1
Tomatoes:-
Ailsa Craig in grow rings in the border soil x 3(plus 3 more in pots as "spares")
Supersweet 100 x1 in a grow ring in the border and x1 in a pot(experimenting to see how they do against each other)
Tumbling Tom Red x3 in hanging baskets, plus a spare in a pot.
Gardeners Delight x2 in rings, plus x1 in a pot
Moneymaker x2 in rings, plus x1 in a pot
There would have been some Crimson Crush, but they were cremated in an accident in the propagator and didn't survive.

I've got 58 tomato plants and six chilli plants.

Toms:
Cherries
2 x Sungold
2 x Gardener's Delight
2 x Floridity
8 x unknown variety given to me by a friend. Apparently has huge trusses of tiny toms. I have a feeling he gave me some of these before. If they are the same ones, I don't recall being that impressed.
Big uns
6 x Cuor di Bue
4 x Pantano Romanesco
4 x Big Daddy
4 x Marmande
10 x Rosados de Barbastro (huge toms, so not many per plant, hence more plants)
8 x unknown variety described by same friend as "from my mate in Zaragoza". Very big apparently.
Storage tomatoes
8 x colgar toms

Chillies
2 x Satan's Kiss (I had hoped to have a BBQ to grill these, so not sure what I'll do with them seeing as I don't. Fry them maybe?)
1 x Lemon Drop
3 x Piparras (long chillies that are preserved in vinegar here. Apparently not very spicy. I bought them from the nursery. They usually have cayenne chillies but not this year, and the woman serving me didn't tell me till they were all wrapped up. They're preserved when green, so I'm going to let them go red and then see what they're like.)

I have 3 Chillies in an unheated greenhouse doing nicely. The greenhouse also has a sundry of about 10 different Tomato plants, picking started this week because they were late and leggy.
On the plot there are 4 more chillis struggling and 15 more Cordon tomatoes and 10 bush style black cherry toms.
As ever there will be a glut starting in about 3 weeks but it lasts no more than 4-5 weeks then calms down again. Last year I canned and made puree/juice/sauce with the excess. There was no waste.

[Containergardener]

Thanks everyone , il be making notes

[Mitzi]

I don't have a greenhouse. I have 30+ chilli plants, 5 of which are on my Mum's patio, 10 or 11 outdoors at home and the rest are on bedroom windowsills. I'm still hoping for a glut - so far it's been fairly slow but steady.

Last year I had 3 tomatoes and 4 chillies. Actually no, I had a few more cayenne chillies that I had grown from seed but they were in tiny pots and only had 1 or 2 pods per plant.

[bramble]

2 sungold, 2 sweet millions, 3 piccolo, 1 tumbler, 1 gardeners delight. 2 salisaw cafe, 1 kumato, 1 nyagous, 1 bigboy, 1 shirley, 2 moskvich, 2 dubrava, 1 alicante, 1 ailsa craig, 1 marmande and 1 san marsano.
3 jalapeno, 3 cayanne, 3 hungarian hot wax, 3 padron, 2 corno de toro, 2 sweet spanish pepper, 2 habanero, 1 medina and 2 unknown which I bought as neglected plants.
Most ofvthese sre in the unheated greenhouse with a few outdoors.
