[who knows what evil?]

There are 14 tomato plants in a 4 x 8 space.

OMG. I have seven 'volunteers' that came up in a spinach bed in a space a little bigger than that; and it is complete CHAOS. But fourteen..?

I have 24 in a 3 x 9 raised bed. Chaos, it is.

I'll be cutting that probably in half for next year.

I had 8 last year in a 2 x 8 ft. space, and they did quite well. Then I had about 13 more in a 2 x ?? space along the fence. That did become chaotic. I had a great crop in those areas, and the 2nd space is where some have reseeded themselves. I’ve probably pulled out about 500 volunteers. But, I’ve left a few there because I just want to see what happens.

The 2nd space had plants growing through the fence that my dog would eat any that ripened outside the fence. Probably the deer ate them too. And maybe racoons, although I think ‘coons could have climbed right over the fence and gone after the main crop.
