I agree, you need more tomato plants, but not 120! I usually plant six plants for us, and still give away as many as my husband and I eat. Try growing some different varieties with differing days to maturity to harvest for a longer period. My favorite early one here in Ohio is Matina. I think it's around 55 DTM. Plum tomatoes are nice for cooking and sauce. I also always grow a beefsteak or brandywine with longer maturity times to harvest late in the season, and a cherry tomato or two. Experiment and find your own favorites. You'll probably get a much bigger choice if growing from seed than finding plants at nurseries.

I've never lived in such a warm climate as yours, and I envy you that. Gardeners in your own zone could likely advise better than I, but I'd guess you could start earlier?

Herbs do great in pots on my deck. It makes them easy to run out and clip as I cook. Of course, in Ohio, that's only in summer months.
