So how many tomato plants to you routinely grow? You could end up with quite a few doing a batch every two weeks. That sounds like a good system.

I generally start 54 (3 x 18 ct egg cartons). Some I'll eventually give away. I rarely grow more than 30 plants/year. That gives me the sundried tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, salsa, and red-sauce, that I'll can or dry for the year.

Of course, I'll have a few green as fried green 'maters, and some fresh ripe ones with salads, etc..

I do like having the extras in case I get whacked with a late freeze or cutworms (I do use foil) or something.
