This year I've managed to limit myself to only 8 plants. That's enough hopefully to supply me with what I want to eat fresh, and to can a bunch of sauce (using the pillowcase method) to last me until next spring. I will most likely can some quart jars of whole tomatoes too, as I'm getting low on them. I had some blight last year, and didn't get a very good crop. Also I planted several heirlooms last year, and they didn't produce well. I solarized a new area last year to plant tomatoes this year, hoping to beat the blight. We'll see. I'm solarizing the area I had planted them in last year to try to eliminate it in that area. My veggie garden is slowly giving way to my crazy obsession with irises, so I'm having to recover other spaces for veggies.
