Item 3 in the list though suggests 6 plants for a family of four!
I suppose for a family that size it may be enough for a few salads or
nibbles.
Our family is the same size but last year 22 outdoor plants(no
greenhouse here sadly) were hardly enough so this year we did 30.


Ha, that's like my family of six, who couldn't be satisfied with 60
tomato plants last year!

Thats a good thing, kids need vitamins and yours are obviously getting
them.
I think an early appetite for fruit and veg sets kids up to enjoy them for
life.
Do you preserve some of them? If so how, I am always looking out for
different tried and tested methods.
We are eating ours as fast as they ripen so next year we will find space
for even more.

Best regards
