For sure! My children are gone from the nest so we are only the two of
us. My children who are living not too far will get quite a few tomatoes
free; I imagine.

You're not so crazy. I live alone (well, I have three cats, but they
don't eat tomatoes), and I planted 10 varieties of tomato this year.
Only 1 or 2 plants per variety, but still....
