Sure home grown tomatoes taste
better than the typical store bought but mostly they all come in at
once within a relatively short period as do all crops, one can eat
only so much.

No, they don't all 'come in' at once. That is an importatn point of my
growing stuff. I use succession planting and I also grow older varieties
which tend to crop over a long period rather than do their stuff in a week
and then die.

Same here. With mostly containers in use, I learned to do the tomatoes in
several versions. Some early crop, some crop best mid-summer, others are
more fall prone (but crop some in summer).

6 -8 plants work for us for tomatoes. I normally do 6 bell peppers as well.
