How many tomato and chilli plants do you grow?

[Newbiegrower1970]

About 50 tomato plants...on the allotment, in the greenhouse, in my garden in pots and in the house. Starting to ripen, I picked 3 so far.

In the 6x6 greenhouse there are - tomatoes, 4 Kibitz, 2 Yellow Peardrops, 2 Garden Pearl, 1 Black Opal plus 5 Mila's Bulgarian sweet peppers.
In the 6x8, I have 1 Black Icicle, 1 Rosella, 1 Jaune Flamme, 1 Red Bufalo Horn, 2 Opalka, 1 Cornue des Andes, 1 Peacevine Cherry, 1 Nectar Rose, 1 Striped Roman, 4 Lunchbox mixed peppers (which sadly turned out to be all green ) and 1 Hungarian Hot Black Wax chilli

I1 Cornue des Andes

For some reason, I woke up the other day with this name going round in my head. No idea why or where it had come from. Do you grow it regularly? Any views on what it's like?

I've grown it for the last 3 years after it was recommended by a member on 'another' forum. It grows quite strongly in my greenhouse (although it has those funny whispy leaves!) and reliably produces 5 trusses of about 4 huge 'pepper shaped' IYKWIM fruit, with few seeds. They are quite late to ripen for me, but suspect they would be earlier for you.
A Google image cos mine aren't ready yet!

Split between home and the allotment we have a total of 68 toms and 35 peppers. Sounds a lot but some of the outside toms only produce a few fruit and many are from side shoot cuttings so they fruit later, spreading the harvest.
